TEst Flashcards
Krebs cycle
the process of aerobic respiration wich takes place in the mitochondria.
Calvin cycle
a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, the food autotrophs need to grow.
Electron transport
a series of protein complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors
glycolysis
converts glucose to purivic acids
photolysis
the decomposition or separation of molecules by the action of light.
carbon fixation
plants turn carbon dioxide into organic compounds
Photosynthesis formula
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
Cellular respiration formula
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP
Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP
aerobic resparation
concerts glucose and oxygen into energy using the mitochondria.
anarobic resperarion
Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and releases less energy but more quickly than aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration in microorganisms is called fermentation.
