Enzymes, Photosynthesis, & Respiration Flashcards
Process used to regenerate NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue in an oxygen-poor environment
Fermentation
Reaction where reactants have more energy than products; energy is released
Exergonic
Get energy from chemical compounds
Chemotrophs
Area in the mitochondria equivalent to the cytoplasm of an aerobic bacteria
Matrix
Using energy of redox reactions in respiration to synthesize ATP
Oxidative phosphorylation
Electron carrier molecule generated in the light reactions of photosynthesis and used in the calvin cycle
NADPH
Reaction where products have more energy than reactants; energy is supplied
Endergonic
Energy provided to start a chemical reaction
Activation energy
Sac in the chloropast
Thylakoid
A molecule that lowers the activation energy
Catalyst
Get energy from sunlight
Phototrophs
Cycle used in the mitochondria to obtain energy from the remaining carbon-carbon bonds of glucose
Krebs
Get carbon from carbon dioxide
Autotrophs
Three carbon compound at the end of glycolysis
Pyruvate
A protein that functions as a catalyst
Enzyme
Membrane in the chloroplasts and mitochondria that are equivalent to the bacterial plasma membrane
Inner membrane
Organelle that arose from cyanobacteria
Chloroplast
Protein that generates ATP from a hydrogen ion gradient
ATP synthase
Organelle that is able to use oxygen to get chemical energy out of carbon-carbon bonds and synthesize ATP
Mitochondria
