Terms Flashcards
Metabolism
The ability to store acquire and use energy
First law of thermodynamics
energy is not created or destroyed it changes forms
Reduction (reduced)
Gaining of electrons
Cellular respiration
Converts biochemical energy to ATP
Light independent reaction
Take place in plant chloroplasts (stroma)
The series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light to proceed
Thylakoid
Sack like membrane in chloroplast
Chlorophyll
Green pigment in Chloroplasts
essential in photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb energy from light.
Mitochondrial Matrix
Space within the inner membrane
Chemiosmosis
Movement of ions across MB , allows for creation of ATP
Glucose
C6H12O6
Glyceraldehyde 3 Phosphate
(G3P) Intermediate in glycosis
Oxaloacetate
Intermediate in Krebs cycle
Binds to acetyl CoA
ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
Three Phosphate Group , Energy Carrier
NADP
NAD Phosphate
Carries Electrons
(Plants use during photosynthesis)
FAD
Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide
Carries Electrons
Picks up and drops off electrons
Precursor is Ribboflavin
NADPH
Reduced form of NADP
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Producing ATP from transfering electrons of NADPH and FADH
Catabolic
Breaking down larger molecules to creates more smaller molecules
Exergonic
Reaction that loses energy in the process
Cytoplasm
Chloroplasts are contained in it
Oxygen
O2
Second law of thermal dynamics
Energy goes from more organized to less organized as it changes forms
Enzyme
Proteins that act as catalysts , speed up chemical reactions
Oxidation
losing electrons
Light dependent reaction
Takes place in the thylakoid
Series of reactions in photo synthesis that require light
Chloroplast
Where photosynthesis takes place
Plastid that contains Chlorophyl
Stroma
Fluid in the chloroplast
Light indepenedent reactions happen here
Mitochondria
Generates cells energy
Mitochondrial Cristae
Fold in the inner MB of mitochondrion
Electron Transport System
ETS / ETC
Series of electron transporters located in the inner mitochondrial membrane
Carbon Dioxide
CO2
Waste product
Pyruvate
Product of Glycolysis , Comes from glucose
Goes into the Krebs cycle
Ribulose Bisphosphate
RUBP Involved in photosythysis
Light Independed Intermediate
Carotenoid
Pigment molecule normally orange/red
ADP
Adenosine Diphosphate
Two Phosphate Groups
NAD
Nicotinamide Adenine Decrepitude
Carry Electrons
Niacin is NAD’s Precursor
FADH
Reduced form of FAD
NADH
Reduced form of NAD
Anabolic
Making bigger molecules from smaller molecules
Endergonic
Chemical reaction where energy is absorbed
Metabolic Pathway
Series of chemical reactions
Photosynthesis
Turning light energy into chemical energy
