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