ch 8 & 9 (photosynthesis & cellular respiration) Flashcards
autotrophic
organisms that use light energy from the sun to make food
heterotrophic
organisms that contain energy from the food they consume
where dose the enery from most living things come from?
the sun
what dose at stand for ATP and what is it ?
Adenosine triphosphate . basic energy source in all cells
what dose Atp consist of ?
adenine, a 5-carbon sugar called ribose, and three phosphate groups
What is the key to ATP’s ability to store rand release energy?
phosphate groups
what do animals store instead of large amounts of ATP over long periods of time
animals store glycogen
what do plants store instead of large amounts of ATP over long periods of time
starch
ADP
compound that looks almost like ATP, except that it has two phosphate groups instead of three
what is the equation for photosynthesis
6CO2+6H20—-> C6H12O6+6O2
(or)
carbon dioxide+ water —> sugar+oxygen
what is the main pigment
chloropyll
storma
the space outside the membranes of the chloroplast
granum
a stack of thylakoids in the chloroplast
thylakoids
photosystems clusters of pigment and protein that absorb light energy
what is NAD+
the electron carrier in the electron transport chain
what is the equation to make NADPH
NADP + H+2E
where do the electrons come from
enzymes that brake down H20 down into 2e-, 2H+, and 1 oxygen
where dose a light dependant reactions occur
the chloroplast (thylakoid membrane)
van Helmont
he weighed a container and the dirt inside the container, he them weighed a seedling and planted it in the pot. he continued to water the plant and then in 5 yrs took the plant out and reweighed everything. The plant weighed more but the dirt weighed the same. He concluded the mass of plants came from H2O
Joseph Priestley
lit a candle and then put a container over it, he then observed that the candle soon went out.
Then created an experiment where he put a plant inside the container with the candle and then once again lit it, the candle soon went out again and was no able to be relighted but after a few days it was able to be lit again. He concluded that the plants produce oxygen
