Cell Energy

Front 1

Photosynthesis

Back 1

Uses sunlight to make organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water.

Front 2

Cellular Respiration

Back 2

Cells produce energy from carbohydrates.

Front 3

Electron Transport Chain

Back 3

Series of molecules found in the inner membrane of Mitochondria and chloroplasts through which electrons pass in a process that causes prolongs to build up on one side of the membrane.

Front 4

ATP

Back 4

Organic molecule that acts as the main energy source for cell processes.

Front 5

ATP Synthase

Back 5

An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP.

Front 6

Thylakoid

Back 6

A membrane system found within chloroplasts that contains the components

Front 7

Pigment

Back 7

A substance that gives another substance or a mixture its color.

Front 8

Chlorophyll

Back 8

A green pigment in most plant and algae and certain bacteria. That gives plants their green color, and absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis.

Front 9

Calvin Cycle

Back 9

A biochemical pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP.

Front 10

Glycolysis

Back 10

The anaerobic breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid, which makes a small amount of energy available to cells in the form of ATP.

Front 11

Anaerobic

Back 11

Describes a process that does not require oxygen.

Front 12

Krebs cycle

Back 12

A series of biochemical reactions that converts pyruvic acid into a carbon dioxide and water, and it releases energy.

Front 13

Fermentation

Back 13

Breakdown of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in the absence of oxygen.

Front 14

Aerobic

Back 14

Metabolic that requires oxygen.
