Term
Inner Membrane
Definition
Inner (folded)membrane adds additional surface area to the mitochondria.
Term
Cristae
Definition
The folds made by the inner membrane.
Term
Matrix
Definition
The space within the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Term
Outer Membrane
Definition
Outside membrane of mitochondria.
Term
Kreb's Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle
Definition
A biochemical pathway that breaks down Acetyl CoA to produce CO2, hydrogen atoms, and ATP.
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition
NADH+ FADH2 are electron carries that fuel ETC, create H+ gradient, and used to make ATP synthase Electron ACC > H2O (O2 + H+)
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
The first step of cellular respiration and where glucose is broken down into 3C molecules of Pyruvic Acid.
Term
Cellular Respiration
Definition
Process in which cells break down organic compounds into ATP.
Term
Cellular Respiration Formula
Definition
Glucose+Oxygen > Carbon Dioxide+Water+ATP
Term
Fermentation
Definition
Process the cell uses to indirectly create energy in the absence of oxygen.
Term
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Definition
Starts with Pyruvic Acid and produces lactic acid, regenerates NAD+ for glycolysis, and occurs in our muscles in strenuous exercise.
Term
Alcoholic Fermentation
Definition
Starts with Pyruvic Acid and produces ethyl alcoholic Carbon Dioxide, regenerates NAD+ for glycolysis, and is use in making dough rise.
Term
Photosynthesis
Definition
The process by which plants and other organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy for the plant.
Term
Photosynthesis Formula
Definition
Light+CO2+H2O=Glucose
Term
Chlorophyll a
Definition
Absorbs more red and blue light and some violet.
Term
Chlorophyll b
Definition
Absorbs more blue light and some red and orange light.
Term
Carotenoids
Definition
Yellow, orange,and brown pigments that absorb different pigments than chlorophyll.
Term
Photosystem
Definition
A cluster of pigment molecules.
Term
Electrons
Definition
Negatively charged particles.
Term
Protons
Definition
Positively charged protons.
Term
Chemiosmois
Definition
The movement of ions across a selectively premeable membrane down their electrochemical gradient.
Term
Calvin Cycle
Definition
The second half of photosynthesis and uses ATP and NADPH created by light reactions.
Term
Carbon Fixation
Definition
Carbon atoms from CO2 are boned or "fixed" into organic compounds.
