What stage in photosynthesis is carbon dioxide fixed?
Calvin cycle
What part of the leaf does carbon dioxide enter and oxygen exit?
Stomata
What is the pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light?
Chlorophll A
What is entropy
Measure of disorder in a system
What process allows the anaerobic harvest of food by yeast to produce ethyl alcohol?
Alchohol Fermentation
AlWhat food molecule is produced by the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis which is later converted to glucose, proteins, or lipids?
63P
What are three ways that ATP is used in the cell?
Chemical, Mechanical, + transport
Define the term;
activation energy
activates the reactants and triggers the chemical reactions
Where does the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis take place?
Thylakoid
What absorbs the wavelengths of light in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
What is phagocytosis?
“cellular eating”engulfing the whole cell, fragments, organic material using ATP
What happens to human blood cells in a hypertonic solution?
cell shrivels from water loss
What is osmosis?
the diffusion of water across the membrane towards greater concentration
In which reaction do the reactants contain more potential energy than the products and energy is released?
exergonic
What are the reactants in photosynthesis?
c02, water, sunlight
What is the function of NADH in cellular respiration?
Delivers electron to first electron carrier in the electron transport chain
Where does the Calvin Cycle take place?
stroma
What type of molecule is vitamin B6?
coenzyme
What type of transport requires a transport protein and energy?
active transport
How many ATPs are produced by the oxidative phosphorylation step in the electron transport chain?
32
Why is the membrane described as the fluid mosaic model?
diverse transport, large particle move out
Does substrate-level phosphorylation only takes place in the citric acid cycle?
NO
What are the reactants in cellular respiration?
Glucose and oxygen
What are the two enzymes in aerobic respiration that accepts electrons and hydrogen atoms?
NAD+ and FAD
