into to photosynthesis and cell resp Flashcards
what is photosynthesis
- who it is performed by
- process of
-occurs in
- type of pathway
- plants
- trapping radeint energy from the esun and converting it to chemical energy and storing as glucose
- choloplasts
- anabolic pathway
what is cell resp
- who it is performed by
- process of
-occurs in
- type of pathway
- plants and animals
- breaks down chemical energy stored in bonds of glucose into ATP (useable energy)
- mitochondria
-catabolic pathway
what is an anabolic pathway
synthesize larger molecules from smaller ones
requires energy - endothermic
what is a catabolic pathway
breaks down larger molecules into smaller ones
releases energy (exothermic)
three key organelles found in plants that are not found in animals
cell wall: rigif structure made of celluose, surrounds cell membrane and gives plants their shape and support
choroplasts: where photosynthesis takes place
central vacuole: stores water and ions
what is the stroma
inner fluid of chloroplasts
what are thylakoids
flattend sacs that cointain cholorphyll
outer membrane of choloplasts
holds everything together and is semi-permeable
what is granum of chloroplasts
stack of thylakoid membranes which is the basic structural unit of the thylakoid membrane
what is the inner membrane of cholorplasts
control direction and specificy of molecules entering and exiting
what are chlorophyll
pigment that absorbs certain wave lengths of light
(traps solar energy)
what is the thylakoid lumen
contrious aquous space enclosed my thylakoid membrane
what is the lamella
connects granum
inner membrane of mitochondria
active site for electron transfer chain and atp production
outer membrane of mitochonria
protect organells and regulat entry and exit of it
