| A | B |
|---|
| Carbon sources | animals: carboxyl, amino acids CO2 glucose lipids and cards, Plants: celluose fiber, carbs, CO2 |
| Legumes | plants thats has microorganisims on its root noduals. these microbes break the triple bonds in N2 they are called N fixing bactiria |
| Phospherous cycle | abundant in rocks as phosphate, when the rock is weathered it releases the phosphate into air and goes into the soil, when the bactiria get to it and turn it into PO4 plants are able to absorb it |
| Phospherous is important how? | it helps form ouir bones/teeth, transfers energy within a cell for us, and is a part of our DNA |
| Photosynthesis (basic) | the process plants go through to grow, provides glucose for enviornment |
| Oragisms | Need limetsless energy, phef presly found that plants clean the air and could restor life to animals in an env w/ no air but w/ sunlight |
| Photosynthesis weight | weight of a plant durring photosynthesis is greater then one not going through because of the increase of CO2 and an unknown |
| Temperature effects on Photosynthesis | The increase of temperature does not speed up photo synthesis neither does a decrease, but an increase/decrease will positivly or negativly effect the process, the only way temperature relates to photo. is the use of enzymes and needed the right temperature needed for them to work effectivly |
| Light Reactions | the reaction in which the H2O molocule is split by sunlight to provide for the glucose and release oxygen into the air |
| Dark Reaction | the reaction in which enzymes break down H2S to add to glucose and release oxygen |
| How do we track breakdown | by using radioactic isotopes, mainly carbon |
| Energy rich compounds | ADP and ATP are the 2 energy rich compounds |
| Dark power | ATP and NADP/NADPH2 are what fuel the dark reaction |
| Photosynthesis goodness | a byproduct oh photo. is glucose and tons of it are made by plants everyday, all organsims need glucose to live |
| Synthisized glucose | it's used to make starches and are stored for later use |
| where it takes place | light reactions take place in the grana dark reactions happen in the stroma |
| Palisades layer | it's one of the base layers that revolves around the cell allowing sunlight to get to the chloroplast |
| NH4 | ammonium |
| NH3 | ammonia |
| NO3 | nitrate |
| N2 | molecular N |
| Ch4 | methane |
| PO4 | phosphate |
| Law of conservation of matter | you cannot chemicaly create or destroy matter |
| Cellulose | Plants make this from glucose, it's a carb used for growing, good energy source |
| Nitrogen fixation | the process of changing nitrogen gas to compounds that can be used by plants, done by bactiria |
| Phospherous Fixation | phospherous is taken from phosphate is altered by bactira and changed to a form that is usable by plants |
| Haber Process | its the process that utilizes high temperatures high pressure and a catalyst to make ammonia directly from te elelments nitrogen and hydrogen |
| Law of conservation of energy | you cannot create or destroy matter using energy |
| anabolic reactions | reactions that cause the build up and create complex molocules |
| catabolic reactions | the opposite of anabolic reactions, they made simple ones and break them up quickly |
| cellular respiration | the process used in which stored energy is converted into glucose |
| metabolism | the sum of all the anabolic and catabolic chremical reactions whithin an organism |
