Biology I - Mod 5 Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration, and Fermentation

takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.

takes place in the cells cytoplasm.

an energy-storing/transferring compound with only 2 phosphate groups.

takes place along the cristae of the mitochondria.

the fluid portion outside of the thylakoids; light independent reactions take place here.

The process by which ________ use solar energy to produce chemical energy (sugars and starches) is known as photosynthesis.

sac- like membranes; arranged in stacks called grana which contain chlorophyll; light dependent reactions take place here.

a carbohydrate that is broken down during cellular respiration to release the needed energy.

the ability to do work.

releases energy more slowly; it is the only way to supply a continuous and more long term supply of ATP.

take in water and light creating ATP and NADPH and giving off oxygen as a byproduct.

gives 4 ATP molecules and 2 pyruvic acid for every glucose molecule; anaerobic process (no oxygen needed)

produces the most energy by using oxygen; aerobic process (uses high energy electrons from glycolysis and Krebs cycle to change ADP into ATP)

use the energy from the NADPH and ATP to power the creation of the sugars (chemical energy)

(aka citric acid cycle) releases more energy from the pyruvic acids made during glycolysis; uses several "helper molecules.
