Science CH 6-7 Flashcards
Photosynthesis
The process that plant cells use to create Glucose with Sunlight
Cellular respiration
the process cells use to make ATP
ATP
energy used to power cell functions
Oxidation
losing of electrons
Reduction
gaining of electrons
Substrate level phosphorylation
slow way of making ATP
Oxidative phosphorylation
fast way of making ATP
Photophosphorylation
production of ATP by chemosmosis during light dependent reactions of photosynthsis
Glycolysis
stage 1 of CR
Pyruvate oxidation
step 1 of stage 2 of CR
Citric acid cycle
step 2 of stage 2 of CR
Electron transport chain
the first step in Oxphos
ATP synthase
the protein in chemiosmosis that produces the majority of ATP used in the body
Chemiosmosis
the 2nd step in cemiosmosis where magority of ATP is produced
Heterotroph
feed on anything for food
Photoautotroph
produce own food from light
Chlorophyll
absorbs light energy execpt green light as it reflects green light
Thylakoid
a disk-like structure where the light dependent reactions occur
Aerobic respiration
when cellular respiration is proformed with oxygen
Anaerobic respiration
when cellular respiration is proformed without oxygen
