Chapter 4 Flashcards
C^6H^12O^6 +6O^2
Glucose
Series of reactions that convert good energy into chemical energy (ATP) for cellular work
Cellular Respiration
Self feeding organism
Photosynthetic
Cyanobacteria, Algae, and Plants
Autotroph
Cell Wall
Water Vacuole
Plastids
All structures inside what?
A Plant Cell
Contains starch
Amyloplasts
Contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
Protein that catalyzes and regulates the rate of metabolic reactions
Enzymes
The energy required to start the metabolic reaction serves as a barrier to catalysis
Activation Energy
Produced when energy is stored in the electrons if chemical bonds and when bonds are broken in a three stage process this is created
ATP
The splitting if glucose into pyruvate which helps drive the synthesis of a small amount of ATP
Glycolysis
The 3 carbon molecule produced by glycolysis
Pyruvic Acid
A chemical where one of the electron carriers utilized by cellular respiration
NAD
Serves as a sort of taxicab for electrons
NADH
This cycle breaks down the remains of carbohydrate, harvesting it’s electrons and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Citric Acid Cycle
A series of proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that functions as a sort of conveyer belt for electrons, moving them from one protein from another.
Electron Transport Chain
