Chapter 8 Vocab
Across
- 2. reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars
- 7. a metabolic process that requires oxygen
- 8. a metabolic process that does not require oxygen.
- 9. The reaction in which it is responsible for making fuel to run the nest reaction, uses energy from sunlight to produce ATP & NADPH. Tales place in the thylakoid, water is the source of electrons &hydrogen ions, oxygen is released as a product
- 12. series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide inside the mitochondria of cells; also called the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the citric acid cycle.
- 14. The fluid portion outside the Thylakoids
- 15. A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy.
- 18. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
- 20. organism that obtains food by eating other organisms
- 21. A compound that can accept and hold 2 high-energy electrons & 1 hydrogen ion,
- 22. series of molecules through which electrons are passed to make ATP
Down
- 1. enzyme that converts inorganic carbon dioxide molecules into organic molecules during the final step of the Calvin cycle.
- 3. metabolic process in which pyruvate is broken down and electron-carrier molecules are used to produce ATP through electron transport.
- 4. principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms; captures light energy
- 5. catabolic pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell.
- 6. The reaction in which glucose is made, uses ATP & NADPH to change carbon dioxide into glucose, takes place in the stroma, doesn't need sunlight to work, uses ATP & NADPH
- 10. light-absorbing molecule
- 11. anaerobic process; first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.
- 13. large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP
- 16. a cluster of chlorophyll and other molecules in a thylakoid that help to harvest light energy during photosynthesis
- 17. molecule that stores and then releases energy in living organisms
- 19. an organism that makes its own food
