Cellular Respiration |
A chemical process that uses oxygen to convert the chemical energy stored in organic molecules into another form of chemical energy: ATP |
|
|
ATP |
Adenosine Triphosphate |
|
|
Autotroph |
An organism that makes its own food (self-feeder) |
|
|
Producers |
They produce the organic molecules that serve as food for other organisms in their ecosystem. |
|
|
Heterotroph |
Organisms that cannot make their own food. |
|
|
Consumers |
They obtain food by eating other organisms. |
|
|
Energy |
The ability to perform work |
|
|
Kinetic Energy |
Motion: Anything that is moving has this type of energy. |
|
|
Potential Energy |
Energy that is stored due to an object's position or arrangement. |
|
|
Heat Energy |
Energy that is transferred from a warmer object to a colder one. |
|
|
Thermal Energy |
Energy resulting from the random movement of atoms and molecules in any sample of matter. |
|
|
Chemical Energy |
The potential to perform work due to the arrangement of atoms within molecules. |
|
|
Calories |
Unit of measure for food energy. |
|
|
Aerobic |
Requires oxygen. |
|
|
Glycolysis |
Splitting of sugar. |
|
|
Fermentation |
A process that makes ATP without using oxygen. |
|
|
Anaerobic |
A process that occurs without oxygen. |
|
|
Photosynthesis |
The process by which plants and other producers convert the energy of sunlight into the energy stored in organic molecules. |
|
|
Chloroplast |
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place. |
|
|
Chlorophyll |
Chemical compounds that give chloroplasts a green color. |
|
|
Stroma |
A thick fluid located in chloroplasts that surrounds the internal structures of a chloroplast |
|
|
Thylakoid |
Disk-shaped sacs contained within the stroma of a chloroplast |
|
|
Grana |
Stacks of many thylakoids |
|
|
Granum |
One stack of thylakoids |
|
|
Pigment Molecules |
Arranged in clusters called photosystems, absorb light energy, which causes the system's electrons to become excited |
|
|
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) |
Breaks down the end product of glycolysis |
|
|
ATP Cycle |
Constantly recycled in your cells. ADP + Pi make ATP. |
|
|
Cell Respiration's Main Function: |
To generate ATP for cellular work |
|
|
Cytosol |
The area that holds the cytoplasm |
|
|
Two types of Fermentation: |
Lactic Acid Fermentation & Ethyl Alcohol Fermentation |
