Photosynthesis |
The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce carbohydrates and water. |
|
|
Cellular Respiration |
The progress by which cells produce energy from carbohydrates. |
|
|
ATP |
An organic molecule that acts as the main energy cell for cell progress. |
|
|
ATP Synthase |
An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis for ATP |
|
|
Electron Transport Train |
A series of molecules, found in the inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplast through which electrons pass in a process that causes protons to build up in the cell membrane. |
|
|
Thyakoid |
A membrane system found within chloroplasts that contains the components of Photosynthesis |
|
|
Pigment |

|
|
Chlorophyll |
A green pigment that is present in most plants and algae cells and some bacteria, that gives plants their characteristic green color that absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis. |

|
Calvin Cycle |
A biochemical pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP. |
|
|
Glycolysis |
Is an anaerobic breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid which makes a small amount of energy available to the cell in the form of ATP. |
|
|
Anaerobic |
Describes a process that does not require oxygen. |
|
|
Aerobic |
Describes a process that does require 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 plants cells and it releases energy. |
|
|
Fermentation |
A break down of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeast, or mold in the absence of oxygen. |
