Chapter 9 Flashcards
What is ATP
Usable energy molecule. Processed in Mitichondria.
What is photosynthesis?
Process using suns energy into simple sugars (glucose)
CO2+H2O+Light-> C6H12O6+O2
ATP
Adenosine-P-P~P
~ High energy molecule
ADP
Adenosine-P-P
Light Dependent Reaction
Convert light energy into chemical energy only when light is present. Also used to fuel Light Dependent Reaction
Light Independent Reaction
Can happen 24/7. Uses energy from light Dependent Reaction to produce simple sugars. Also known as the Calvin Cycle
Chloroplast
Cell organelle in which photosynthesis occurs. Absorbs Light
Pigments
Molecules that absorb certain wave lengths of light(colors)
- Chlorophyll-most common. Absorbs most any color except green
- Xanthophyll-yellow pigment
- carotene- orange pigment
Electron Transport Chain
Series of proteins embedded in the thylakoid Membrane
After this process ADP is made back into usable energy
NADPH+
Energy storing compound
Photolysis
Water being broken up into Hydrogen and Oxygen
Where does the Calvin Cycle take place?
Chloroplasts
Cell respiration
Process that converts chemical energy into usable energy
C6H12O2 into ATP
Aerobic
Cell respiration
Glucose (C6) —> Glycolysis 2(C3) —> Kerbs cycle—> CO2 and ATP
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine Triphosphate
