Bio Terms 1 Flashcards
Thermodynamics
Study of energy transfer
Cellular Respiration
Break done molecules and use e transport chain to produce atp
Aerobic Respiration
O2 consumer as a reactant along with organic fuel
Redox Reaction
One loses e (oxidized) one gains e (reduced)
Glycolysis
Glucose broken down by cells in enzyme reactions (no O2)
Critic acid cycle
In mitochondria, oxidizes carbs, fatty acids, and amino acids, produces atp
Oxidative phosphorylation
Harnesses reduction of O2 to generate high energy phosphate bonds (atp)
Photoautotrophs
Does photosynthesis
Light reactions
Thylakoid membrane of chloroplast convert solar energy to atp or nappt (release O2) stage 1
Calvin Cycle
Fixation of CO2 in the atmosphere and reduction of fixed carbon into carbohydrate (stage 2)
Carbon Fixation
Initial incorporation of carbon from CO2 in organic compound
