biology flash cards chapter 7

the wavelength of light that is absorbed by a plant and used for photosynthesis

the molecule that provides the energy for a cell to use to fuel endergonic reactions

an organism that is able to manufacture its own cell mass and organic compound from CO2.

the set of a chemical reaction in a plant which creates the three carbon molecules glucose-3-phospahte

that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength of 0.001 nm to 1 nm.

the three carbon sugar produced by the calvin cycle

the electromagnetic spectrum

the bending of light at different angles

the color that makes up white light

the membrane system controlled in the chloroplast

the way in which radiant energy travels

that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with a wave length of 1nm to 10onm

the small portion of the suns radiant energy that is able to be seen by the human eye; visible light encompasses a spectrum of wavelengths of 380nm to 780nm

the molecule that provides the energy for a cell to use to fuel endergonic reactions

energy absorbing pigments that are contained within the thylakoid membrane

free electrons that carry a lot of energy typically activated electrons enter into electron transport chains

a co enzyme molecule the hydrated form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate functions as a carrier of high energy electrons

the units in which energy travels

one of the photosynthetic systems which activates electrons

one of the photosynthetic systems which activates electrons

the distance from one peack of energy to the next peak of energy

the bending of light at different angles

a co enzyme that carries the carbon atoms of pyruvate through the Krebs cycle, during which the bonds of pyruvate are broken and atp, nadh, and fadh2 are produced

the two carbon molecule made from pyruvic acid oxidation

two phosphate groups liked to an adenosine molecule. converted by atp ase into atp by the linking of another phosphate group

the biological process in which atp is made from glucose using oxygen as the final electron acceptor

the process in which atp in made from glucose without oxygen

the enzyme that makes atp from adp

the process of hydrogen flowing across the cristae and driving the atp synthasis

the initial step in the metabolism of glucose is broken into two pyruvate molecules

refers to the inner membrane of mitochondria iit contains the molecules which produce most of the atp

the space between the inner membrane and the outer membrane in mitochondria

the second step of cellular respiration which occurs in the mitochondria during this sequence of reactions the remaining carbon molecules from glucose are oxidized to form carbon dioxide

the space on the inside of the mitochondria between the cristae

nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide an energy capturing co enzyme

the activated form of nad also referred to as the reduced form

protects the inside of the mitochondria from the outside substances inside of the cytoplasm

removing a hydrogen atom with its electron from a molecule

the ability of a hydrogen ion gradient to perform work

the three carbon molecule that is formed as a result of glycosis

the transition reaction

the reaction that links glycolysis to aerobic respiration
