Carbon Dioxide Fixation

Front

The synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide, such as in photosynthesis

Back

Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

Front

A series of molecules, found in the inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts, through which electrons pass in a process that cause protons to build up on one side of membrane.

Back

Fermentation

Front

The breakdown of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mild in the absence of oxygen

Back

Anerobic

Front

Describes a process that does not require oxygen.

Back

Carotenoids

Front

a class of pigments that are present mostly in plants and that aid in photosynthesis

Back

Krebs Cycle

Front

a series of biochemical reactions that convert pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and water; it is the major pathway of oxidation in animal, bacterial, and plant cells, and it releases energy

Back

NADPH

Front

an electron carrier that provides the high-energy electrons needed to make carbon-hydrogen bonds in the third stage of photosynthesis

Back

Calvin Cycle

Front

a biochemical pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP

Back

Heterotroph

Front

An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by products and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic materials

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

a green pigment that is present in most plant cells, that gives plants their characteristic green color, and that reacts with sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to form carbohydrates

Back

Gycolysis

Front

The anaerobic breakdown of glucose pyruvic acid, which makes a small amount of energy available to cells in the form of ATP

Back

Aerobic

Front

describes a process that requires oxygen

Back

Equation for photosynthesis

Front

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Back

equation for cellular respiration

Front

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Back

Autotroph

Front

an organism that produces its own nutrients from inorganic substances or from the environment instead of consuming other organisms

Back

NADH

Front

electron carrier that stores energy used to make ATP

Back

Cellular Respiration

Front

The process by which cells produce energy from carbohydrates; atmospheric oxygen combines with glucose to form water and carbon dioxide

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen

Back

Chemoautotrophs

Front

Organism that make food from chemicals, the go through chemosynthesis

Back

FADH2

Front

electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle

Back

Thylakoid

Front

a membrane system found within chloroplasts that contains the components for photosynthesis

Back

Pigment

Front

a substance that gives another substance or a mixture its color
