Chapter 9 Flashcards
More energy is required to force the two groups together
Adenosine diephosphate (adp)
Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the molecule and can be used quickly and easily by the cell
Adenosine triposphate (ATP)
Process that uses the suns energy to make simple sugars
Photosynthesis
Convert light energy into chemical energy
Light-dependent reactions
Produce the simple sugars
Light-independent reactions
Molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of sunlight -
Pigment
Absorbs most wavelengths of light except green
Chlorophyll
A series of proteins embedded in the thylakoids membrane
Electron transport chain
An electron carrier molecule
NDAP+
Molecules of water are split in the first photo system
Photolysis
Is a series or reactions that use carbon dioxide to form sugars
Calvin cycle
The process by which Mitchondria break down food molecules to produce ATP
Cellular respiration
No oxygen is required
Anaerobic
Requires oxygen to be completed
Aerobic
A series of chemical reactions in the cytoplasm of a cell that breaks down glucose into two molecule of pyruvic
Glycolysis
