photosynthesis Flashcards
a type of anaerobic respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into ethal alcohol and CO2
alcohol fermentation
total ATPs formed by cellular respiration
36
large proteins that uses energy from H+ ions to to bind ADP and phosphate together to make ATP
ATP synthisis
the process where oxygen and sugars are used to create co2 and water
cellular respiration
dark reactions take place here
stroma
reaction in photosynthesis in which ATP and NADPH are used to make sugars, also known as light independent reactions or Calvin Cycle
dark reactions
molecule used by cells to deliver energy for chemical reactions, made in the mitochondria
adenosine triphsphate
reactions in photosynthesis that uses light to produce ATP and NADPH, and also known as light dependent reactions
light reactions
fluid regions outside the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast
stroma
the major pigment found in plants, makes them green
chlorophyil
three factors that contrast the rate of photosynthisis
water, light intensity, and tempeture
light reactions take place here
thylacoid
the steps of areobic respiration in order
glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport chain
3rd stepnin cellular rispiration in which high-energy electrons from the krebs cycle are used to change ADP into ATP, creates 34 ATPS
electron transport
organisims that uses the suns energy to make there own food
Autotrouph
