Ch. 1 Flashcards
A chemical compound that can be converted to ATP with the addition of a of one phosphate group
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
Processes used in cells to break down glucose and produce ATP
Cellular respiration
First step in cellular respiration that takes place in cytoplasm and converts one molecule of glucose to a net of two molecules of ATP
Glycolysis
Process that requires oxygen to produce a net of 36 molecules for 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 that occurs in the mitochondria after the Krebs cycle and produces a net of 36 more ATP molecules for every one of glucose
Electron Transport Chain
Process that does not require oxygen and produces a net of two molecules of ATP for every one of glucose
Anderobic respiration
Anaerobic cellular respiration that occurs in animals and some bacteria
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Anaerobic cellular respiration that occurs in plants and other micro organisms such as yeast
Alcoholic fermentation
Organisms such as animals that obtain energy by consuming plants and other animals
Heterotrophs
Organisms such as plants that use energy directly from the sun to produce glucose and other carbohydrates
Autotrophs
The process of converting the inorganic carbon found in carbon dioxide to organic carbon in glucose
Carbon fixation
Process used by autotroph’s that uses the Suns energy to convert water and carbon dioxide to glucose and oxygen
Photosynthesis
The green pigment found in chloroplasts of plant cells that absorbs energy from sun and uses that energy in the first stage of photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
