Term
| Accessory Pigment Function |
|
Definition
| Absorbs colors that chlorophyll can't, protects the fragile chlorophyll |

1) CO2 Fixation
CO2 is attached to RuBP
2) CO2 Reduction
ATP+NADPH energy used to change CO2
3) Regeneration of RuBP
Starts the cycle over |

Term
| Factors effecting the rate of photosynthesis |
|
Definition
| Temperature, Light, Water, CO2 |

|
Term
|
Definition
| Occurs in the cytoplasm, converts glucose to two pyretic acids, produces 2ATP and 2NADH |
|
|
Term
| Benefits of Anaerobic Respiration |
|
Definition
| Helps replenish NADH so that ATP production continues through glycolysis |
|
|
Term
| Detriments of Anaerobic Respiration |
|
Definition
| Inefficient and wasteful, produces toxins as an end waste product |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Occurs in animals and produces tactic, causes intense muscle pain and fatigue |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Occurs in plants and yeasts, produces ethyl alcohol and CO2 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
NADH-Produces 3ATP per molecule
FADH2-Produces 2 ATP per molecule |

Definition
1) Glycolysis
Conversion of glucose to pyruvate
2) Transition
Connects glycolysis with Kreb's cycle or the Cytoplasm with the Mitochondrial Matrix
3) Kreb's Cycle
Completes the breakdown of glucose, produces 2ATP, 6 NADH, 2FADH2, and 4CO2 (per every two turns)
4) Electron Transport
Electrons are carried by NADH and FADH2 to the "pumps," setting up and H+ gradient to make ATP |
