Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 krebs | The cycle that involves pyruvate being converted to Acetyl CoA, regeneration of oxaloacetic acid, and the formation of energy. |
| 32 ATP | The respiration step that results in oxidative phosphorylation |
| Glycolysis | The respiration step that results in 2 ATP, 2 NADH, 2 pyruvate molecules |
| Kreb's cycle | The respiration step that results in 8 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP |
| respiration | results in the release of energy from the breakdown of carbohydrates, or glucose |
| 30% | Respiration produces ____________ ATP per glucose molecule, which is approximately ____________ of the available energy in a glucose molecule. |
| glycolysis | involves the breakdown of a glucose molecule into two 3 carbon pyruvate molecules and yields 2 ATP. |
| FAD and NAD | coenzymes commonly utilized by plants as electron carriers in respiration |
| Carboxylation phase of the calvin cycle | when carboxylase activity of RUBISCO converts RuBP to into 2 molecules of 3-PGA. |
| C6H12O6 + 6 O2 | The input in respiration that results in 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 36 ATP |
| Mitochondrial matrix | Where the kreb's cycle occurs |
| Cristae | Where oxidative phosphorylation occurs |
| Cytoplasm | Where glycolysis occurs |
| Phosphoglycolate | The waste product when the oxygenase activity of rubisco binds O2 to RuBP |
| Nitrite reductase | Enzyme found in chloroplasts that reduces nitrite to NH3 |
| Glutamine synthetase | Enzyme that catalyzes the formation of glutamine from condensation of glutamate and NH3 |
| NO3- and NH4+ | Primary forms of nitrogen that plants acquire from the soil |
| mRNA | Type of RNA responsible for carrying the genetic information to direct protein synthesis |
| Nitrogenase | Type of RNA that is a component of cytoplasmic ribosomes |
| t-RNA | Type of RNA responsible for carrying specific amino acids to the ribosome for attachment to the growing peptide chain |
| ferredoxin | During nitrogen fixation the Fe-protein and Fe-Mo-protein complexes are reduced by electrons donated from this |
| cytosine | replaces Guanine as a pyrimidine on RNA |
| Transcription | Process of copying a specific section of DNA onto mRNA |
| 20 | The number of amino acids that make-up proteins depending on sequence |
| sn-RNA | Type of RNA involved in the removal of non-coding sections of mRNA prior to protein synthesis. |
| Translation | Process by which polypeptides are synthesized from amino acids according to information encoded on mRNA: |
| leghemoglobin | has a high affinity for oxygen and thus prevents excessive oxygen levels from inhibiting the activity of the oxygen-sensitive nitrogenase enzyme. |
| DNA | Double helix structure composed of a ribose sugar-phosphate backbone and connected by N containing purine and pyrimidine bases |
