PCR Flashcards

Front

A process by which certain species can convert light energy into chemical energy. When plants can't absorb a certain color of light, it means they wouldn't be able to do this process (as they have no light source).

photosynthesis

Front

Structure containing chlorophyll where photosynthesis occurs.

Back

chloroplast

Front

Structure where cellular respiration occurs in eukaryotic organisms.

Back

mitochondria

Front

Process by which chemical energy in the form of glucose is converted to chemical energy cells can use in the form of ATP. Can be aerobic or anaerobic.

Back

cellular respiration

Front

System that does not allow any substances in OR out.

Back

closed system

Front

Space inside a chloroplast where light independent reactions occur.

Back

stroma

Front

Sacks filled with chlorophyll inside a chloroplast where light dependent reactions occur.

Back

thylakoid

Front

A process or reaction that does not require oxygen.

Back

anaerobic

Front

A process or reaction that does require oxygen.

Back

aerobic

Front

The anaerobic process of breaking glucose into pyruvate and releasing 2 ATP total. Without oxygen, fermentation is the only reaction that will occur.
