Chapters 6, 7, 10 Flashcards
The basic rule of energy?
Energy cannot be destroyed, only transferred from one place to another.
What are autotrophs?
Cells that make their own food (Producers)
What causes muscle cramps?
Lactic Acid
Ultimate source of energy?
Sunlight
Where is the energy found in ATP molecules?
In the bonds that hold phosphate groups.
For each molecule of glucose, how much pyruvic acid is produced?
2
What step of cellular respiration is water produced?
Electron transport chain
Why is Glycolysis important evolution-wise?
It does not require oxygen and does not require a special organelle.
How many times does the Kreb Cycle happen?
2
Why do plants and humans need to co-exist?
Plants use up the carbon dioxide we exhale and we take in the oxygen that the plants produce.
Calvin cycle function?
Convert carbon dioxide to glucose (inorganic to organic)
What molecule in plant cells captures light energy?
Chlorophyll
Where do light-independent reactions occur?
Stroma
base pairing rule
In RNA, A pairs with U

2
For each molecule of glucose, how many molecules of water are produced?

What is the liquid part of the chloroplast called?
Stroma
“coin” looking thing in stroma is called?
Thylakoid
Stack of “coin” looking things are called?
Granum
What energy conversion is happening in Photosynthesis?
Light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars.
What energy conversion is happening in Cellular respiration?
Converting chemical energy into ATP
Where does transcription occur?
In the Nucleus
Where does translation occur?
Ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm
What is transcription?
Genetic info stored in a molecule called DNA is used to create a complementary molecule called RNA
