Term
Two Laws of Thermodynamics
Definition
1)Energy is conserved
2) All reactions occur in such a way to increase entropy
Term
Exergonic
Definition
Energy Releasing Reaction
Term
Endergonic
Definition
Energy Consuming Reaction
Term
Exergonic and Endergonic are coupled how?

Stripping the electrons off glucose and passing them to oxygen
Term
What is left over from Glucose?
Definition
C02
Term
Electrons are Carried to Oxygen by what?
Definition
Nucleotide Coenzymes called NAD and FAD
Term
Glucose is first oxidized to pyruvic acid by a process called:
Definition
Glycolysis
Term
Pyruvate is completely oxidized:
Definition
In the Krebs Cycle within the Mitochondria
Term
Electrons are passed to oxygen stepwise along the:
Definition
Inner Membranes of the Mitochondria
Term
As the electrons flow
Definition
Protons are pumped out of the mitochondrion using active transport
Term
As the protons flow back:
Definition
ATP is produced via facilitated diffusion
Term
Some tissues can make ATP with oxygen in a process called:
Definition
anaerobic fermentation
Term
Two Examples:
Definition
Ethanol Fermentation and Lactic Acid fermentation
Term
A maximum of
Definition
38 ATP's are created
Term
Photosynthesis requires:
Definition
light energy
Term
Light energy is used to:
Definition
remove electrons from water
Term
What is the byproduct of splitting water?
Definition
Oxygen Gas
Term
The electron transfer chain in the thylakoid membrane does what:
Definition
Reduce NADPH
Term
ATP is made as this flow of electrons forms a proton gradient. This process is called:
Definition
Chemiosmosis
Term
ATP and NADPH are used to:
