biology cell
Formula for photosynthesis
6H₂O + 6CO₂ + Light Energy → C₆H₁₂O₆+ 6O₂
Thylakoid
A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy.
active site
A pocket or groove on the surface of the enzyme.
Enzyme
A protein serving as a catalyst, a chemical agent that changes the rate of reaction without being consumed by the reaction.
electron transport chain
A sequence of electron carrier molecules (membrane proteins) that shuttle electrons during the redox reactions that release energy used to make ATP.
Mitochondria
An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
Chloroplast
An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
formula for cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H20 + ENERGY (ATP)
anaerobic respiration
Does not use oxygen
Substrate and product
Enzymes function as biological catalysts, accelerating the conversion of one substance, the ______________, into another, the ___________.
chlorophyll
Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
pigment
Light-absorbing molecule
cellular respiration
Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Fermation
follow glycosis when o2 is absent, incomplete oxidation of a glucose, occurs in the absence of o2
Calvin Cycle
reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars
aerobic respiration
requires oxygen
Krebs cycle
second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
Glycolysis
the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
photocynthesis
a process by which green plants and organisms turn carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen,using light in energy trapped
main purpose of cellular respiration
to create ATP and carbon dioxide
catalyze
to speed up
