23
Q

Fermentation/ Anaerobic respiration

A

An incomplete breakdown of food into ATP. Inefficient, but necessary when no oxygen is present.

24
Q

A

Glucose-> 2 lactate+2ATP+2H2O

25
Q

Alcohol fermentation

A

Glucose-> 2 ethanol+2ATP+2H2O

26
Q

How many ATP molecules does fermentation produce?

A

2

27
Q

Pigments

A

Absorbs photons of visible light
-Chlorophyll (green) and carotenoids (reds, oranges, and yellows)

28
Q

What are the most important colors of light for photosynthesis?

A

Red and blue

29
Q

What type of reaction is photosynthesis?

A

endergonic (absorbs energy)

30
Q

Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

A

The ‘wire’ that transports electrons through the membrane

31
Q

Why is water important for photosynthesis?

A

Donates electrons for ETC; releases H+ (used to create a concentration gradient when some are used for NADPH and ATP through transporter proteins)

32
Q

Chemosynthesis

A

a process carried out by prokaryotes when there is no sunlight. It is the synthesis of carbs from carbon dioxide using energy in the bonds of inorganic molecules.
- Ex. 6CO2+H2O+3H2S->C6H12O6+3H2SO
