|
Mitochondrion |
an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae). |
|
|
Chloroplast |
(in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place |
|
|
Photosynthesis |
is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities (energy transformation) |
|
|
Cellular Respiration |
is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into (ATP), and then release waste products. |
|
|
Chlorophyll |
green pigments found in cyanobacteria and the chloroplasts of algae and plants |
|
|
Autotroph |
is an organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light or inorganic chemical reactions. |
|
|
Energy |
is a property of objects which can be transferred to other objects or converted into different forms. |
|
|
Food |
goods |
|
|
Glucose |
simple sugar |
|
|
Heterotroph |
organism that cannot fix carbon from inorganic sources but uses organic carbon for growth. |
|
|
Producer |
someone that makes or produces something |
|
|
Chemosythesis |
the synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the absence of sunlight. |
