Quiz Study Guide Flashcards
Aerobic capacity
the maximum rate at which O2 can be taken in and used by your muscles cells
autotrophs
are organisms that make all their own matter (Carbon dioxide from the air + water+ minerals) Ex plants
Heterotrophs
include humans and other
animals
Photosynthesis
The chemical ingredients for
photosynthesis are carbon dioxide
(CO2) and water (H2O).
Cellular respiration
convert the energy stored
in sugar to another source called ATP. The waste products of cellular respiration are CO2 and
H2O.
Cellular Respiration
it turns chemical energy from organic fuel molecules
Glycolysis
the process in which glucose is broken down to produce energy. using the produces two molecules of pyruvate, ATP, NADH and water.
The Citric Acid Cycle
Overall, one turn of the citric acid cycle releases two carbon dioxide molecules and produces three NADH, one FADH, and one ATP or GTP. The citric acid cycle goes around twice for each molecule.
Electron Transport
Electrons are transferred from glucose in food to NAD+
* This electron transfer convers NAD+ to NADH
* NADH releases 2 electrons that enter an electron
transport chain, a series of carrier molecules.
*With each exchange, the electron gives up a bit of energy.
Electron Transport
Each of these miniature machines
are called ATP synthase
Fermentation
To harvest food energy during
glycolysis, NAD+ must be
present to receive electrons
FERMENTATION IN
MICROORGANISMS
Wastes from
fermentation can be
ethyl alcohol, lactic
acid, or other
compounds,
depending on the
species
Photosynthesis
Transforms light energy into
chemical energy, Uses CO2 and water as starting
materials, and Releases oxygen gas as a by-
product.
Chloroplast
Light-absorbing organelles, they are found on the leaves.
Photosynthesis equation
That the reactants of
photosynthesis, carbon dioxide
(CO2) and water (H2O), are the
same as the waste products of
cellular respiration
