|
A molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell processes.
|
ATP |
|
|
A lower energy molecule that can be converted into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group.
|
ADP |
|
|
A process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of light energy to make energy storing carbon based molecules.
|
chemosynthesis |
|
|
A process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy
|
photosynthesis |
|
|
A molecule in chloroplasts that absorbs some of the energy in visible light
|
chlorophyll |
|
|
Membrane-bound structure within chloroplasts that contains chlorophyll and other light absorbing pigments used in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis
|
thylakoids |
|
|
Captures energy from sunlight in the membranes of the thylakoids; water and sunlight are needed for this stage of photosynthesis
|
light-dependent reactions |
|
|
Uses energy from the light-dependent reactions to make sugars
|
light-independent reactions |
|
|
Seriesof proteins in the thylakoid and mitochondrial membranes that aid in convertingADP to ATP by transferring electrons
|
electron transport chain (ETC) |
|
|
An enzyme that catalyzes the reaction that adds a high energy phosphate group to ADP to form ATP
|
ATP synthase |
|
|
Process by which a photosynthetic organism uses energy to synthesize simple sugars from carbon dioxide
|
Calvin Cycle |
|
|
Process of producing ATP by breaking down carbon based molecules when oxygen is present
|
cellular respiration |
|
|
Process which requires oxygen to occur
|
aerobic |
|
|
Process that does not require oxygen to occur
|
anaerobic |
|
|
Anaerobic process in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate and two net ATP are produced
|
glycolysis |
|
|
Process during cellular respiration that breaks down a carbon molecule to produce molecules that are used in the electron transport chain
|
Krebs Cycle |
|
|
Two groups of molecules that capture and transfer energy from the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis in the thylakoid membranes
|
photosystems |
|
|
Anaerobic process by which ATP is produced by glycolysis
|
fermentation |
|
|
Product of fermentation in many types of cells, including human muscle cells
|
lactic acid |
|
|
Organelle composed of numerous membranes that are used to convert solar energy into chemical energy; contains chlorophyll
|
chloroplast |
