  • Front
  • Back

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 to make energy storing carbon based molecules

Chemosynthesis

A process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy

Photosynthesis

Release chemical energy from sugars and other carbon based molecules to make atp when oxygen is present

Cellular respiration

Process that requires oxygen to occur

Aerobic

Process that does not require oxygen to take place

Anaerobic

Splits glucose into two three carbon molecules and makes two molecules of atp

Glycolysis

A series of proteins in the membrane of the thylakoid

Electron transport chain

Produces molecules that carry energy to the second part of cellular respiration

Krebs cycle

Uses carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and the energy carried by atp and NADPH to make simple sugars

Calvin cycle

Light dependent reactions, light energy is captured and transferred in the thylakoid membranes by two groups of molecules

Photosystem

A molecule in chloroplast that absorbs some of the energy in visible light

Chlorophyll

Stacks of coin-shaped membrane enclosed compartments

Thylakoid

Does not make atp but allows glycolysis to continue

Fermentation

A process that requires oxygen

Aerobic

Organism that can make their own food

Autotroph

De-energized batteries

Adp

A process that does not require energy

Anaerobic

The source of energy for all living things

Sunlight

Electron transport chain

The location of the light reactions in the chloroplast

Thylakoid

The gelatinous material found in chloroplast

Stroma

This prefix means two

Di

The process using the products of photosynthesis so that animals can breath

Cellular respiration

The location of energy in an atp molecule

Bonds

The nitrogenous base that is found in both ATP and ADP

Adenine

Bacteria use this method of energy synthesis to make their food

Chemosythesis

Also known as the Dark reactions last stage of photosynthesis

Calvin cycle

A specific organism that can make its own food besides plants

Algae

The process by which organisms like yeast produce alcohol

Fermentation

The process by which autotrophs make their food

Photosynthesis

The by product of photosynthesis

Oxygen

The prefix of three

Tri

The storage form of energy

ATP

Where does the light dependent reactions occur

Thylakoid membrane

Where does the light independent reaction occur

Chloroplast

Another name for the light independent reaction
