|
Photosythesis |
Solar energy goes into an organism to make organic compunds from carbon dioxcide and water |
|
|
Cellular resporation |
Process of which cells produce energy from carbohydrates |
|
|
ATP |
Main source of energy for cell process |
|
|
ATP synthase |
Enzyme that catalyzes sythesis of ATP |
|
|
Electron Transport Chain |
Series of molecules found in inner membranes of mitochondria an chloroplasts that electrons pass in a process that causes process to group up on one side of the membrane |
|
|
Thylakoid |
A membrane system found within Chloroplasts that contain the components for photosythesis |
|
|
Pigment |
Substance that gives a substance or a mixture its color |
|
|
Chlorophyll |
Green pigments that is present in most plant and algae cells and some bacteria, that gives plants their characteristic green color, and absorbs light to provide energy for photosythesis |
|
|
Calvin Cycle |
Biochemical pathway of photosythesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP |
|
|
Glycolysis |
An anaerobic breakdown of glucose to pyruvic, which make a small amount of energy available to cells in form of ATP |
|
|
Anaerobic |
Decribes a process that does not require oxygen |
|
|
Aerobic |
Describes a process that requires oxygen |
|
|
Krebs Cycle |
A series of biochemical reactions that convert Pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and water; it is the major pathway of oxidation in animal, bacterial, and plant cells, and it releases energy |
|
|
Fermentaion |
Breakdown of carbs by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in absences of oxygen |
