Biology 100 Unit 6 Flashcards
Your body breaks down glucose to produce
ATP
ATP is used for ______ and is important in the ________ of organisms
energy; metabolism
What are the 2 types of Metabolism
- aerobic
- anaerobic
6H2O+6CO2->C6H12O6+6O2
Photosynthesis
metobolism breaks down glucose in the presence of O2 to produce ATP
Aerobic
metabolism breaks down glucose in absence of O2, to produce far less
anaerobic
In the presence of sunlight plants convert water and carbon dioxide to
glucose and 02
(self feeders) include plants and some other organisms that make their own organic matter from inorganic nutrients.
autotrophs
other feeders. Humans and many other animals that cannot make their own food from inorganic materials
heterotrophs
autotrophs and other producers in an ecosystem
producer
Heterotrophs and other animals are this because they eat plants and other animals
consumers
____________ is fuel in cellular respiration
glucose
aerobic harvesting of chemical energy from organic fuel molecules
cellular respiration
Plants and animals under go ____________ which depends on gas exchange
cellular respiration
_________ and ________ undergo cellular respiration
plants and animals
Plants take in _________ through _______ and give off __________
CO2, leaves, 02
Animals take in _______ through __________ and give off ______________
O2 lungs, CO2
includes a series of hydrogen atoms and electron transfers
cellular respirtation
In cellular respirtation oxogen atoms
attract
In cellular respirtation hydrogen ions and their electrons move from ____________
glucose to O2 to make water
The removal of electrons from molecules is called
Oxidation
The transfer of electrons from one molecule to another are called
REDOX reactions
Electron loss as a part of a redox reaction is called
oxidation LEO
