Photosynthesis, Respertation, Fermentation and Glycolysis

What is H2O?

2%hydrogen 1% oxygen

What does Chlorophyll mean?

A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria.

What does anaerobic mean?

A process that does not require oxygen

What is Electrical charge ?

A property of matter that tells whether something has a positive or negative charge.

What does photons mean?

A quantum, or discrete quantity, of light energy that behaves as if it were a particle.

What is ROYGBIV?

All of the colors in the rainbow in order, so basically the rainbow

What is NADPH?

An electron carrier involved in photosynthesis. Light drives electrons from chlorophyll to NADP+, forming NADPH, which provides the high-energy electrons for the reduction of carbon dioxide to sugar in the Calvin cycle.

What is CO2?

Carbon dioxide

What is ATP/Adenosine triphosphate

Main energy source that cells use for most of their work.

What is photosynthesis?

Occurs ONLY in plants. The plant makes glucose from light, carbon dioxide and water

What does aerobic mean?

Process that requires oxygen

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Produces molecules that carry energy to the second part of cellular respiration

What is the dark reaction of photosynthesis?

Reactions of photosynthesis that do not require light but use energy produced and stored during light reactions to make glucose or also known as the Calvin Cycle.

What is the light reaction in photosynthesis?

Reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH.

What does Fermentation mean?

Respiration without oxygen

What is glycolysis?

The breakdown of glucose

What is the combination of elements to make glucose?

The combination is H2o, Co2 and a light spectrum

What is ADP/Adenosine diphosphate

The compound that remains when a phosphate group is removed from ATP, releasing energy.

What is Respiration?

The process of transferring energy from glucose which goes on in every cell or Breathing
