Term
|
Definition
a molecule of glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvic acid, occurs in cytosl. Breaks down 6-carbon glucose into two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid.
Anaerobic |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Completes the breakdown of sugar, the process has moved into the mitochondria.
Aerobic |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Releases the energy your cells need to make most of their ATP, hydrogen atoms removed during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle are delivered to protein carriers.
Aerobic |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a metabolic process whereby electrons released from nutrients are ultimately transferred to molecules obtained from the breakdown of those same nutrients |

Term
|
Definition
| Use light to energize chloroaphyll in the thalakoid membranes(produces high energy electrons). Water is split, giving off oxygen (ATP is produced), high energy electrons and ATP enter the Calvin Cycle. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Occurs in the stoma of the chloroplast; functions like a sugar factory within a chloroplast; atmospheric carbon dioxide enters here, along with the high energy electrons and ATP from light reactions; the carbon from the carbon dioxide is used to make glucose and other organic compounds |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Plants that use carbon dioxide directly from the air. Are very common and widely distributed. (soybeans, oats, wheat) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Plants that close their stomata to save water during hot and dry weather; can still carry out photosynthesis. (corn, sugar cane) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Plants that open their stomata only at night to conserve water. (cacti, pineapples) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Has "stolen" enough genes to become the first animal shown to make chlorophyll like a plant, takes the photosynthesizing organelles and some genes from algae. |

Term
| What does cell division accomplish? |
|
Definition
| It plays a role in the replacement of lost or damaged cells, and cell reproduction and growth. |

|
Term
| What were Gregor Mendels four hypotheses developed from his experiments with monohybrid cross? |
|
Definition
-there are alternative forms of genes, called alleles
-for each characteristic, an organism inherits two alleles, one form each parent
-alleles can be dominant or recessive
-gametes carry only one allele for each inherited characteristic |
