Respiration and Photosynthesis

Do you know the terminology of photosynthesis and respiration? How about what is made where? Test yourself!


AB
anaerobicnot requiring oxygen to survive
blue lightwave lenths that chlorophyll absorbs best
caroteneorange accessory pigment
mitochondriaorganelles that carry out cellular respiration
stromalocation of "dark" reactions
electron transport chainseries of reactions in the membrane of chloroplasts and mitochondria that makes ATP
aerobicneeding oxygen to survive
carbon dioxidethe gas used in photosynthesis that is given off during respiration
sunlightthe source of energy for plants
ATPthe energy carrier that your body must have
heterotrophan organism that carries out cellular respiration but not photosynthesis
NADPHhigh energy hydrogen ion carrier in chloroplasts
NADHhigh energy hydrogen ion carrier in mitochondria
xanthophylla yellow accessory pigment
bluegreenthe color of chlorophyll a
olivegreenthe color of chlorophyll b
chromatographythe process of separating pigments using solvents
oxygenthe gas needed in the last step of aerobic respiration
light reactionsphotosynthesis processes that capture sunlight to make high energy products and split water
dark reactionsa misnomer..reactions where carbon dioxide is used
glycolysisprocess that splits glucose in two
cytoplasmlocation of glycolysis reactions
pyruvatemolecule made when glucose is split in half
fermentationwhat happens when a cell tries to break down glucose when oxygen is not present
lactic acidthe product of fermentation in animal muscles
matrixlocation of the Kreb's cycle where carbon dioxide is made
inner membranelocation where oxygen is used and ATP is produced
thylakoid membraneslocation of the light reactions
autotrophan organism that carries out photosynthesis and cellular respiration
cellular respirationprocess by which cells break down organic compounds to make ATP
anthocyaninpigment made by most plants only in the fall, is pH sensitive
