Alternative Methods of Carbon Fixation: Plant Structure: Photosynthesis: Metabolism Cellular Respiration
100
transpiration
This is the evaporative loss of water from leaves
100
chloroplasts
These organelles are the site of photosynthesis
100
chemical
Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into what type of energy?
100
anabolic pathways
These are also known as “biosynthetic pathways
100
fermentation
This is the partial breakdown of sugar in the absence of oxygen
200
oxygen
In the absence of CO2, rubisco will incorporate which molecule into the Calvin cycle?
200
mesophyll
This is the interior leaf tissue that houses the chloroplasts
200
photons
Particles of light are called:
200
entropy
This is the measure of disorder
200
redox reactions
These release energy when electrons move closer to an electronegative atoms
300
an evolutionary relic
With no known benefit to plants, photorespiration may be what?
300
stomata
These are microscopic pores in a plant’s leaf
300
autotrophs
These type of organisms are also known as “self-feeders”
300
1st law of thermodynamics
This is the “principle of conservation of energy”
300
final electron acceptor
What is the role of oxygen in cell resp?
400
sugar cane, corn
Give an example of a C4 plant
400
stroma
What is the fluid filled interior of the chloroplast called?
400
electromagnetic spectrum
All possible wavelengths of light make up:
400
heat or thermal energy
This is the kinetic energy associated with random movement
400
dehydrogenase
What enzyme delivers electrons to NAD+ from glucose?
500
PEP carboxylase
This enzyme replaces rubisco in C4 photosynthesis
500
thylakoid membrane
Where are ATP synthase proteins located in the chloroplast?
500
photophosphorylation
In photosynthesis, the process that forms ATP is called what?
500
decrease the systems free energy
What must every spontaneous process do?
500
Phosphofructokinase
What enzyme is the key point of regulation for cellular respiration?
