A | B |
energy | the ability to do work |
heterotroph | must eat foods to get energy |
metabolism | all the chemical reactions taking place in the cell |
metabolic pathway | series of reactions where the products of one are the reactants for the next |
photosynthesis | 6CO2+6H2O+light=C6H12O6+6O2 |
cellular respiration | catabolic pathway that converts glucose into ATP |
ATP | adenosine triphosphate |
ADP | adenosine diphosphate |
chloroplast | site of photosynthesis, organelle containing chlorophyll |
anabolic | builds up a compound from smaller ones (synthesis) |
catabolic | breaks down a large compound releasing energy (decomposition) |
thylakoids | flat disc of saclike membranes-light dependent reactions take place here |
grana | stacks of thylakoids |
stroma | fluid inside chloroplast around grana |
calvin cycle | phase 2 of photosynthesis - light independent |
light dependent | phase 1 of photosynthesis- reactions that do require light |
catalyst | reduces activation energy, allows rxn to happen |
thermo | heat |
auto | self |
chemo | chemical |
photo | light |
hetero | other |
cat | down (break down) |
ana | up (build up) |
di | 2 |
tri | 3 |
