window panes list for bioenergetic reactions: (just in case you lost it!)
1. ATP- Adenosine triphosphate- this is your cell's basic unit of chemical energy made from breaking down a glucose molecule.
2. Lysis- to split something open- in biology it is usually water breaking things down.
3.synthesis- " to make" something, you are building something, usually a compound in your body.
4.Activation energy- least amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction ( happens at the arrow in an equation, it's 2 ATP for Cellular respiration).
5.aerobic- a reaction that is using oxygen. This produces the highest yield of ATP
6. anaerobic- a reaction that is not using oxygen.This produces ATP, but far less than would have been produced if oxygen was available
7. fermentation- a type of bioenergetic reaction that occurs in plants and animals when oxygen is not available- a back-up energy process, there are two types you need to know; lactic acid fermentation (animals and certain bacteria) and alcohol fermentation ( plants and certain bacteria). This occurs in the mitochondria.
8.Respiration- the process of taking in essential materials for life and releasing waste products. his occurs in the mitochondria.
9.photosynthesis- the process of taking in solar energy and converting it to chemical energy. This occurs in the chloroplast
10. metabolism- The combinations of chemical reactions that occur in an organism to help it carry out life processes.
