8 Flashcards
A chemical compound that can be converted to ATP with the addition of one phosphate group
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
Process used in cells to breakdown glucose and produce ATP
Cellular respiration
The first step in cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and converts one molecule of glucose to a net of two molecules of ATP
Glycolysis
Process that requires oxygen to produce a net 36 molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose
Aerobic respiration
Part of the cell where aerobic respiration takes place
Mitochondria
The part of aerobic respiration that takes place in the mitochondria and produces two molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose
Krebs cycle
The part of aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria after the Krebs cycle produces a net of 36 more ATP molecules of glucose
Electron transport chain
Process that does not require oxygen and produces a net of two molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose
Anaerobic respiration
Anaerobic cellular respiration occurs in animals and some bacteria
Lactic acid fermentation
Anaerobic cellular respiration occurs in plants and other microorganisms such as east
Alcoholic fermentation
Organisms such as animals that obtain energy from consuming plants and other animals
Heterotrophs – consumers
Organisms such as plants that usually use energy directly from the sun to produce glucose and other carbohydrates
Autotrophs- producers
The process of converting the organic carbon found in CO2 to Organic carbon in glucose
Carbon fixation
Process used by autotrophs that uses the suns energy to convert water and carbon dioxide to glucose and oxygen
Photosynthesis
The green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants cells that absorbs energy from the sun and uses the energy in the first stage of photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
