Cards

Term
glycolysis
Definition
six carbon sugars split in half; occurs in cytosol
Term
citric acid cycle
Definition
three carbon sugars split in half into CO2 and H2; occurs in fluid portion of mitochondria
Term
oxidative phosphorylation
Definition
hydrogen and oxygen combine to form H2O; occurs in inner membrane of mitochondria
Term
alcohol fermentation
Definition
occurs in yeast cells deprived of oxygen
Term
lactose fermentation
Definition
occurs in human muscle cells abundant in oxygen
Term
cellular respiration
Definition
oxygen + sugar --> H2O + CO2; releases ATP
Term
photosynthesis
Definition
H2O + CO2 --> oxygen + sugar; takes in light energy
Term
anaerobic biochemical pathways
Definition
fermentation and glycolysis
Term
aerobic biochemical pathways
Definition
oxidative phosphorylations and citric acid cycle
Term
light dependent reaction
Definition
occur in membrane of chloroplasts; light energy converted into chemical energy; H2O splits into H+, e-, O2
Term
light independent reactions
Definition
occur in fluid portion of chloroplasts; CO2 mixed with H2 to produce sugar molecules
Term
carbon fixation
Definition
CO2 mixed with H2 to produce sugar molecules
Term
C4 photosynthesis
Definition
corn
Term
C3 photosynthesis
Definition
legumes
Term
CAM photosynthesis
Definition
pineapples
