Q

inside the thylakoid are green pigment molecules called (?) that absorbs energy from the sun

a pigment that gives plants their green color

17
Q

chlooroplasts are found mainly in the cells of the (?), the interior tissue of the leaf

18
Q

(?) is composed of particles that travel as waves / wavelengths

19
Q

how many processes of photosynthesis are there?
and they are the…?

A
  1. 2 processes
  2. dependent reaction and independent reaction (or the calvin cycle)
20
Q

occurs in the thykaloid membrane of the chloroplast

dependent reaction or independent reaction (the calvin cycle)

A

dependent reaction

21
Q

sunlight is required for it to happen. Oxygen is released as waste products during this stage

dependent reaction or independent reaction (the calvin cycle)

A

dependent reaction

22
Q

occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts

dependent reaction or independent reaction (the calvin cycle)

A

independent reaction / calvin cycle

23
Q

can happen with or without sunlight. formation of glucose from carbon dioxide happens in this stage

dependent reaction or independent reaction (the calvin cycle)

A

independent cycle / calvin cycle

24
Q

energy stored in food must be converted to a form of energy that the body recognizes, in the form of (?)

A

ATP - adenosine triphosphate

25
energy molecules responsible for many biological processes and synthesis of other biomolecules
ATP - adenosine triphosphate
26
refers to the complex process by which energy in the form of atp is released from food molecules
cell respiration
27
complex process that can occur wiith or without oxygen
cell respiration
28
how many types of cell respiration, and what are they
1. 2 2. aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration
29
# types of respiration uses oxygen
aerobic respiration
30
# types of respiration absence of oxygen
anaerobic respiration
31
1. autotrophs (photosynthesis) via (?) 2. heterotrophs (cell respiration) via (?)
1. chloroplast 2. mitochondria
32
the end goal of cell respiration is to create many atps from readily available glucose in the cell. true or false
true
33
occurs in the cytosol (cytoplasm) of the cell
glycolysis
34
the process in which glucose is brocken down to produce energy, the transformation yields 2 atp
glycolysis
35
occurs in the mitochondria, yields 2 atp
krebs cycle
36
uses broken down sugar (acetly-CoA) and produces energy molecules while releasing carbon dioxide
krebs cycle
37
occurs in mitochondria, will include other chemical reactions that yield more atp (i.e around 32 atp)
electron transport chain
38
special way of breaking down glucose. eukaryotes can also do anaerobic respiration when cells experience low-oxygen conditions | (ex: lactic acid build up in muscles, and alcoholic fermentation)
anaerobic respiration
39
lactid acid fermentation occurs in ## Footnote produced in muscles during rapid exercises when body cant suplly anough oxygen tissues - causes muscle cramps
muscle cells
