Products have more energy than the reactants | result of a chemical reaction that absorbs energy |
Products have less energy than that of the reactants | result of a chemical reaction that releases energy |
activation energy | energy needed to start a chemical reaction |
enzyme | proteins that can speed up chemical reactions |
catalyst | general name for a chemical that can make a reaction go faster |
metabolism | chemical reactions in an organism |
substrate | a molecule that an enzyme changes |
active site | the fold, area on an enzyme that the substrate attaches |
heat, acidity, concentration | factors that affect an enzyme's activity |
ATP | energy storage molecule |
ADP and phosphate group | result the release of energy from ATP |
growth, repair, transport | activities that require energy |
phosphate bond | location of where energy is stored in ATP |
plants use the sun's energy to do this | produce carbohydrates |
carbohydrates from plants provide other organisms with this | energy |
molecule excited by light | chlorphyll |
Role of ATP and NADPH in photosynthesis | power stage 3, the building of carbohydrates in the Calvin Cycle |
Carbon dioxide and water | the reactants needed in photosynthesis to make carbohydrates |
electrons | particles passed from one molecule to another in order to transfer energy |
carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen | major product of photosynthesis |
water | supplies the replacement electrons in photosynthesis |
C, H, O, N, P | elements involved in photosynthesis |
what molecule enters the Krebs cycle that will end up in sugar | carbon dioxide |
Where does the Hydrogen come from that ends up in sugar? | water splitting |
glycolyis | the 1st stage in cellular respiration |
products of cellular respiration | water, carbon dioxide, and ATP |
mitochondria | organelle where oxidative respiration takes place |
