Unit 4 LO & Vocab

Front

Formula for photosynthesis:

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Front

Process by which autotrophs capture light energy to convert CO2 and water into glucose, storing energy in chemical bonds.

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

Photosynthesis reactions where chlorophyll absorbs light to produce ATP and NADPH.

Back

Light Dependent Reactions

Front

Photosynthesis reactions using products from light-dependent reactions to create glucose from CO2 and water.

Back

Light Independent Reactions

Front

Starting substance on the left side of a chemical reaction, destroyed during a change.

Back

Reactant

Front

C6H12O6 is a monosaccharide produced in photosynthesis and used in cellular respiration.

Back

Glucose

Front

ATP is the main molecule for storing chemical energy in cells.

Back

The primary molecule used by cells to store chemical energy for use in cellular processes.

Front

Glycolysis is

Back

The breakdown of glucose into pyruvate to produce ATP and NADH; the first step in cellular respiration.

Front

Kreb's Cycle is

Back

A part of aerobic respiration that uses glycolysis products to generate ATP for oxidative phosphorylation.

Front

Electron Transport Chain:

Back

Transfer of electrons through donors and acceptors, coupled with proton transfer across a membrane, creating a gradient to produce ATP.
