Term
what are the two main types of cellular respiration
Definition
Aerobic
Anaerobic
Term
*requires molecular oxygen
*Includes redox reactions
Definition
Aerobic Respiration
Term
*Fermentation
*Does not require oxygen
Definition
Anaerobic Respiration
Term
Name the four stages of aerobic respiration
Definition
*Glycolysis
*Formation of the acetyl CoA
*Citric Acid Cycle
*Electron transport chain/chemiosis
Term
Name the stage(s) that takes place in the cytosol
Definition
Glycolysis
Term
Name the stage(s) that takes place in the mitochondrion
Definition
*Formation of the acetyl CoA
*Citric Acid Cycle
*Electron transport chain/chemiosis
Term
Two major phases of glycolysis
Definition
*Energy investment phase
*Energy capture phase
Term
"sugar Spitting"
does not require oxygen
Definition
Glycolysis
Term
Each glucose molecule produces net yield of two ________ molecules and two _______ molecules
Definition
NADH (electron donor)
ATP (form of energy triphosphate)
Term
*first, carboxyl group is split off as CO2
*then, remaining 2-carbon fragment is oxidezed and electrons transferred to NAD+
*finally, oxidized two carbon group is attached to coenzyme A
Definition
Formation of acetyl CoA
Term
*series of electron carriers
*Each carrier exists in oxidized or reduced form
*Electrons pass down the electron transport chain in series of redox reactions
Definition
Electron Transport Chain
Term
electron transport chain ______ energy as its passed along the chain
Definition
losses
Term
many organsims depend on _____ other than glucose
Definition
Nutrients
Term
Products of ___ and ___ ____ enter the same metabolic pathways as glucose
Definition
protein and lipid catabolism
Term
*Electrons transferred from fuel molecules to electron transport chain
*Final electron acceptor is inorganic substance
Definition
Anaerobic Respiration (no oxygen)
Term
anaerobic process that does not use electron transport chain
(anaerobic pathway)
Definition
Fermentation
Term
Two types of fermentation
Definition
*alcohol fermentation
*lactate fermentation
Term
*yeasts are unicellular fungi that have enzymes that release carbon dioxide
*Produce ethyl alcohol
*Also used in baking, the CO2 causes bread to rise
Definition
Alcohol Fermentation
Term
*used by muscles for short periods when oxygen is used up
*allows some animals to live w/out oxygen for long periods of time
Definition
Lactate Fermentation
Term
composed of photons
Definition
Light
Term
small packets of energy
Definition
photons
Term
visible light mkes up small portion of
Definition
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Term
all energy travels as
Definition
waves
Term
___ wavelengths have more energy that ___ wavelengths
Definition
shorter
longer

chloroplasts
Term
chloroplasts are located mainly within the _______ ___ inside leaf
Definition
mesophyll cells
Term
main photosynthetic pigment

Chlorophyll
Term
chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids and other photosynthetic pigments are components of ___ of ____
Definition
thylakoid membranes of chlorooplasts
Term
photosynthesis is a ____ process

Redox
Term
light energy is captured and converted to
Definition
carbohydrates

two phases of photosynthesis
Definition
*light dependent
*carbon fixation
Term
in stroma
Definition
carbon fixation
Term
in thylokoids

Term
compounds generated in phase 1 provide energy for formation of _____
Definition
Carbohydrate
Term
energy of ATP and NADPH used in formation of organic molecules form ___
Definition
CO2
Term
discovered by Melvin Calvin and Andrew Benson in the 1950's
Definition
Calvin Cycle
