Photosynthesis and Respiration Flashcards
what will a cell wall protect a plant from
falling, cells to burst, control how much water comes in
what is the difference between osmosis and diffusion
osmosis: water, important for plant
diffusion: everything else, glucose diffuses in cell, oxygen coming in, combines with pyruvic acid, carbon dioxide diffusing out
everything i know about photosynthesis
stores energy, only in plants, takes place in chloroplast
everything i know about vacuoles in photosynthesis
surrounded by chloroplasts, need water for photosynthesis to supply hydrogen for PGAL, there for osmotic pressure
how do you make a protein
nitrogen from the ground will be added to PGAL
what is the second step of respiration, everything i know about second step
takes place in mitochondria, glucose and oxygen get diffused into the cell, glycolysis breaks down glucose, goes into mitochondria with pyruvic acid, joins oxygen to break it up into carbon dioxide, water, and lots of energy in the form of ATP
what is the purpose of water supplying a plant with hydrogen and energy
so ATP can be made
what are the differences between autotrophs and heterotrophs
autotrophs: carry photosynthesis, make organic compounds
heterotrophs: can’t carry photosynthesis, consume organic compounds
photolysis
takes place in the grana, water is split into hydrogen (goes into the air) and oxygen (bonds with NADP) energy from this goes to form ATP, plant uses it
everything i know about carbon fixation
carbon dioxide taken in by the leaves and forms PGAL, carbon dioxide becomes unstable due to presence of ATP through effective collisions, stable and will not bond again
what is the first step of respiration, everything i know about first step
glycolysis; breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid and and energy, anaerobic, takes place in cytoplasm
everything i know about respiration
releases energy, two steps
everything i know about chemosynthesis
when microscopic organisms consume minerals to get little energy
_____ produces more energy vs. _______
aerobic; anaerobic
what is the formation of ATP called
oxidated phosphorylation
