Unit 3 Vocab

Question 1

Absorption spectrum

Answer 1

Electromagnetic transmission through a substance(shown through dark lines or bands)

Question 2

Acetyl coA

Answer 2

Carbon bound to coenzyme A goes through keens cycle twice(once for each glucose)

Question 3

Anabolism

Answer 3

Construction of complex molecules(requires energy)

Question 4

Anaerobic metabolism

Answer 4

Creation of energy in the absence of oxygen

Question 5

ATP

Answer 5

Energy carrying molecule

Question 6

ATP synthase

Answer 6

Enzyme that combined ADP and a phosphate to make ATP

Question 7

Autotroph

Answer 7

Organism that can produce its own food using light water and carbon dioxide

Question 8

Calvin cycle

Answer 8

Step 2 of photosynthesis. Occurs in stroma

Question 9

Cellular respiration

Answer 9

Glucose+O2=H2O+CO2

Creates energy

Question 10

Hemiosmosis

Answer 10

Diffusion of ions

Question 11

Chlorophyll

Answer 11

Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy

Question 12

Chloroplast

Answer 12

Where photosynthesis occurs(contains chlorophyll)

Question 13

Citric acid(Karen’s cycle)

Answer 13

Harnesses the power of acetyl CoA, goes through twice and produces one ATP, 2 NADH, 1 FADH, and CO2

Question 14

Electron transport chain

Answer 14

Creates the most ATP, electrons flow through proteins which pumps H+ through membrane, they flow through ATP synthase, ADP and phosphate combine to make ATP.

Question 15

FAD/FADH

Answer 15

Created during Karen’s cycle

Question 16

Feedback inhibition

Answer 16

Product that’s being made inhibits the activator

Question 17

Fermentation

Answer 17

Anaerobic respiration, replenishes NAD+ to restart glycolysis

Question 18

Glycolysis

Answer 18

First step of cellular respiration, produces net 2 ATP, and 2 NADH

Question 19

Light dependent reactions

Answer 19

Occurs in thylakoids, produces ATP, and NADH, require sunlight

Question 20

Light independent reactions

Answer 20

Occurs in stroma, CO2 to glucose, does not require light

Question 21

Metabolic pathway

Answer 21

Sequence of enzyme reactions that lead to the final product

Question 22

Mitochondrion

Answer 22

Site of cellular respiration

Question 23

NAD/NADH

Answer 23

Created during glycolysis and Kreisler cycle, hold H+ for ETC

Question 24

NADP/NADPH

Answer 24

Reduced form of NADP+, used in Calvin cycle

Question 25

Oxidative phosphorylation

Answer 25

The electron transport chain

Question 26

Photolysis

Answer 26

Separation of molecules by light

Question 27

Photosynthesis

Answer 27

Process by which plants produce food through sunlight

Equation: CO2+H2O+Sunlight—>O2+glucose

Question 28

Photosystem I

Answer 28

Where light strikes second in Calvin cycle

Question 29

Photosystem II

Answer 29

Where light strikes first in Calvin cycle

Question 30

Pyruvate

Answer 30

End product of glycolysis(converted from G3P)

Question 31

Stroma

Answer 31

Fluid in chloroplast

Question 32

Substrate level phosphorylation

Answer 32

Phosphate and ADP are combined to make ATP (occurs in glycolysis and Karen’s cycle)

Question 33

Thylakoid membrane

Answer 33

Where light reactions occur
