cell energy test Flashcards
chapter 6
photosynthesis
plants use sunlight to make energy; 6CO2+6H2O -> C6H12O6+6O2
glucose
sugar
carohydrates
sugars, starches, and fiber found in foods like fruit, grains, and milk products
autotrophs
organism that makes food from simple substances like CO2
heterotrophs
organism that gets food from other complex substances such as plants and other animals
pigments
color
chlorophyll
stuff in plants that makes it green
ATP
usable form of energy; ADP+P=ATP
ADP
AMP+P=ADP
AMP
end-product of certain biochemical reactions
light reactions
use light energy to make molecules for photosynthesis
dark/synthesis reactions
make use of organic energy molecules
kreb’s cycle
part of respiration where chemical bonds energy is converted into usable form of energy (ATP)
glycolosis
breakdown of sugars by enzymes
respiration
takes place in mitochondria; energy released from bonds converted to ATP
aerobic
uses air
anaerobic
doesn’t use air
fermentation
chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeast
lactic acid
Three carbon (pyruvic acids) + NADH——-> Lactic acid + NAD+H (makes muscles sore)
alcoholic fermentation
Three carbon (pyruvic acids) + NADH——> Alcohol + CO2 +NAD+H
homeostasis
human body keeping stable temperature
law of conservation or mass/energy
matter can’t be created nor destroyed; matter can be converted into energy
chromatography
separation of mixture by passing it in solution or suspension
