Slides One: Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration Flashcards
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis in words
Carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
What is photosynthesis
The process by which plants take the suns energy and create energy rich compounds
What is cellular respiration
Cells breaking down energy rich compounds (carbs) to create ATP
What is another term for glucose
Carbohydrate
What is another term for cellular respiration
Is the opposite of photosynthesis
What does Aerobic mean
Lots of oxygen
What is the chemical formula for cellular respiration
O2 + C6H12O6 = H2O + CO2 + ATP
What is the chemical formula for cellular respiration in words
Oxygen + Glucose = Water + Carbon Dioxide + ATP
What are chloroplasts
Have two membranes, filled with disks and an inner solution
What formation occurs in chloroplasts
Photosynthesis
What organ is the stroma located in
Chloroplasts
What is the stroma
Is a fluid that contains protein to synthesis with carbohydrates
Which organ are thylakoids located in
Chloroplasts
What are thylakoids
Flattened disks that have chlorophyll with absorbs light energy for photosynthesis
What organ is chlorphyll located in
Chloroplasts
What does chlorophyll do
Gives plants a green colour
What organ is granum located in
Chloroplasts
What are granums
Stacks of thylakoids
What is the job of chloroplasts
Photosynthesis
What are microcondria
Rod shaped organells that break down carbs into ATP
What organ is the matrix located in
Microcondria
What is the job of the matrix
Fluid filled space that has proteins and chemicals that break down carbs
What organ is the cristae located in
Microcondria
What is the job of cristae
Folds that create more surface area for ATP production
What is ATP used for
Helps synthesis carbs, fats, proteins, DNA
Muscle contracts
Any movement
What is the full name of ATP
Adenosine triphosphate
What is ATP
The source of energy
What are metebolic pathways
Step by step reactions
Where does photosynthesis take place
Chloroplasts
Where does cellular respiration take place
Microcondria
What is a metabolism
Reactions in a cell that support it
Anabolic
Building large molecules from small ones (energy needed)
What are some examples of anabolics
Dehydration synthesis, Photosynthesis
Catabolic
Breaking down large molecules to small ones
What are examples of catabolics
Hydrolysis, cellular respiration
Enzymes
Biological catalysts that reduce activation energy
What is oxidization
Loosing an electron
What is reducing
Gaining an electron
What is a reducing agent
Something that looses the electron
What is an oxidization agent
Something that does not start off with the electron
