Chapter 5 Flashcards
occurs when a substance passes through the cell membrane with the help of extra energy
Active Transport
The number of particles of a substance in a given volume
Concentration
moving down the concentration gradient
Diffusion
help to pass the very large molecules through the membrane
Facilitated Diffusion
the special case of the diffusion of water
Osmosis
occurs when a substance passes through the cell membrane without needing any energy to pass through
Passive Transport
occurs when a substance diffuses through a cell membrane without any help from other molecules
Simple Diffusion
The passage of a substance through a cell membrane
Transport
help to pass through the membrane is provided by
Transport Protein
Some substances are too big to be pumped across the membrane but go through by
Vesicle Transport
Living things that make glucose are called
Autotroph
occurs in the second stage of photosynthesis
Calvin Cycle
The Chloropast contains the green pigment known as
Chlorophyll
a type of plastid, or plant organelle
Chloroplast
simple carbohydrate with the chemical formula C6H12O6
Glucose
All other living things obtain glucose by eating autotrophs. These living things are called
Heterotroph
occur in the first stage of photosynthesis
Light Reactions
The process in which glucose is made using energy in light is
Photosynthesis
Surrounding the thylakoids is a space called the
Stroma
Inside the chloroplast are stacks of flattened sacs of membrane, called
Thylakoid
Anything that needs oxygen is described as
Aerobic
Anything that doesn’t need oxygen is described as
Anaerobic
the process in which cells break down glucose, release the stored energy, and use the energy to make ATP
Cellular Respiration
The third and final stage of cellular respiration is called
Electron Transport
Some organisms can produce ATP from glucose anaerobically. One way this happens is called
Fermentation
the first stage of cellular respiration
Glycolysis
During the second stage in cellular respiration, two more molecules of ATP are produced
Krebs Cycle
