combining of living things
Two molecules of living things combined in synthesis. |
|
|
Decomposition |
When something is broken down |
breaking down
Decomposition releases energy. |
|
|
Cell respiration |
A decomposition pathway that provides the energy cells need to function |
providing energy; makes ATP
Cell respiration is a form of decomposition. |
|
|
Aerobic |
Cell respiration in the presence of oxygen |
oxygen
Aerobic cell respiration provides more ATP. |
|
|
Anaerobic |
Cell respiration without oxygen |
Anaerobic cell respiration makes less ATP. |
|
|
Fermentation |
The chemical breakdown of a substance. |
Decomposition
Fermentation gives off energy/heat. |
|
|
