Term
Light energy
Definition
is captured and stored as chemical energy in glucose
water and carbon dioxide are used to make glucose and oxygen
Term
Role of photosynthesis
Definition
food, structure for plants
food for other organisms
oxygen for other organisms
Term
cuticle
Definition
waxy coating; reduces evaporation
Term
epidermis
Definition
leaf surface; protects inner cells
Term
stoma
Definition
pore in epidermis; lets in carbon dioxide let out water and oxygen
- can open and close to retain water
Term
Mesophyll
Definition
cells for photosynthesis each has 40-50 chloroplasts
Term
vascular bundle
Definition
leaf veins; transport water, minerals, glucose
Term
photon
Definition
packet of kinetic light energy; moves in waves
-shorter wavelengths =more energy
Term
electromagnetic spectrum
Definition
; range of energy from sun; 3types of radiation reach earth
Term
ultraviolet radiation
Definition
short wavelengths; high energy; damage crucial molecules
Term
infrared radiation
Definition
long wavelengths ;low energy; useful energy lost as heat
Term
visible light
Definition
wavelengths and energy levels between UV and IR; only alters molecules that absorb light; colors
Term
How does light energy get into plants
Definition
pigment molecules in thylakoid membrane can capture and absorb light
Term
chlorophyll A
Definition
main blue and green pigment; absorbs red blue and violet reflects green.
Term
accessory pigments
Definition
absorbs wavelengths of light chlorophyll A cannot
Term
chlorophyll B
Definition
yellow green pigment; absorbs other shades of red and blue
Term
carotenoids
Definition
orange and yellow pigments absorbs blue and green
Term
photosystem;
Definition
complex of chlorophyll A accessory pigment, and helper proteins anchored to thylakoid membrane
Term
reaction center
Definition
special chlorophyll a that triggers photosynthesis
Term
electron transport chain
Definition
electron from donor is passed along chain of proteins to reach a final acceptor. energy is released along the way
Term
ATP
Definition
energy is stored in it, used to power cell
Term
electron carriers
Definition
transport energized electrons and H+ within a cell
Term
ATP synthase
Definition
channel enzyme uses gradient energy to make ATP
-channel lets H+ diffuse back into stroma
-diffusion powers enzyme to add p to ADP
Term
chemiosmosis
Definition
as electron move along transport chain 2, the energy released is used to pump From stroma into thylakoid space
Term
Calvin cycle
Definition
carbon dioxide enters through stoma, turns into glucose by using energy in Atp and nadph
-takes place in stroma
Term
carbon fixation
Definition
attaches carbon dioxide to Rubp molecule: forms pga molecules
Term
rubisco
Definition
enzyme that speeds up carbon fixation
Term
G3p synthesis
Definition
pga rearranged into g3p
Term
RUbp regeneration
Definition
some g3p rearranged back into rubp for next co2
Term
photorespiration
Definition
rubisco attaches oxygen to rubp instead of carbon dioxide; reduces photosynthesis efficiency
- stomata prevent this by staying open to take in more carbon dioxide, release oxygen
but this also releases water
Term
ATP for cellular respiration
Definition
energy is stored in it used to power cell
powers reaction needed for life
must be constantly replaced
Term
glycolysis and cellular respiration
Definition
chemical energy in glucose is transferred to chemical energy in ATP
glucose and oxygen are used to make atp carbon dioxide and water
Term
glycolosis
Definition
breaks down glucose, make 2 ATP;in cytosol
Term
cellular respiration
Definition
breaks down glucose further; makes lots of ATP;in mitochondrion needs oxygen
Term
glycolosis
Definition
splits glucose into two pyruvate molecules
also makes NADH, 2 ATPs
in cytosol
anaerobic doesn't require oxygen
Term
cellular respiration or fermentation
Definition
if there is oxygen pyruvate is broken down completely
Term
acetyl coA formation
Definition
in matrix
pyruvate broken down and bound to coenzyme A forming this________
also make NADH, carbon dioxide
Term
Krebs cycle
Definition
acetyl coa broken down into carbon dioxide . asle makes nadh fadh2 2 atps
Term
electron transport CHAIN
Definition
IN INNER MEMBRANE CRISTAE.. NADH AND FADH2 GIVE ELECTRONS TO TRansport chain and electrons move along. energy released is used to pump h+ from matrix to inner membrane space building a gradient . electrons reach end transport chain given to oxygen the final acceptor. oxygen electrons and the 2h + join to form water waste product
Term
atp synthase
Definition
channel enzyme that uses gradient energy to make atp. channel h+ diffuse back into matrix . released gradient adds p to adp
Term
atp made from 1 glucose
Definition
glycolysis 2 atp.
acetyl coa formation 0 atp
Krebs cyle 2 atp
electrons transport chain 32 atp
total 36 atp
Term
fermentation
Definition
there is no o2 pyruvate is only broken down partly.
in cytosol
anaerobic
no final acceptor no electron transport
1 glycolysis
2 fermentation
Term
GYCOLYSIS
Definition
MAKES PYRUVATE NADH 2 ATP.
DOESNT NEED OXYGEN BUT NEEDS
LOTS OF GLUCOSE
LOTS OF NAD+
Term
FERMENTATION
Definition
REMOVES ELECTRONS FROM NADH AND GIVES THEM PYRUVATE
PYRUVATE BECOME WASTE PRODUCT
Term
LATIC ACID
Definition
WASTE PRODUCT IS LACTATE FERMENTATION REMOVES ELECTRONS FROM NACH AND GIVES TO PRRVATE
