Benchmark1 #3 Flashcards
is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy.
photosynthesis
a series of flattened sacs made out of phospholipid bilayers.
thylakoid discs
are for building and doing things
proteins
are for membranes
lipids
are fuel
carbohydrate
are the instructions that make all things possiable
Nucleic Acid
this process of DNA replication and cell division
cell life cycle
Why do cells divide?
A. To allow the organism to grow larger.
B. To repair damaged or worn-out cells.
C. To reproduce.
is a series of steps that results in two identical daughter cells.
cell replication
starts when the cells are created, and ends when they divide into two new daughter cells.
Cell Life Cycle
time of growth and DNA replication.
Interphase
splitting of the nucleus.
Mitosis
What are the 3 main stages of photosynthesis?
- Energy is captured from sunlight.
2. Light energy is converted to chemical energy.
What powers the formation of sugars?
the chemical energy ADT and NADPH, this happens in the cytoplasm.
embedded within the membranes of the thylakoids is a pigment known as
chlorophyll
