|
ATP
|
When this molecule is used, it releases energy for the cellular processes, and ADP.
|
|
|
Cellular Respiration
|
This is the process that, with certain exceptions, occurs primarily in the mitochondria.
|
|
|
Photosynthesis
|
This is the overall process in which plants convert solar energy into glucose.
|
|
|
Aerobic
|
This means "with oxygen."
|
|
|
Anaerobic
|
Examples of this type of process include lactic acid fermentation, and alcoholic fermentation.
|
|
|
Chemical Energy
|
This type of energy is stored in chemical bonds.
|
|
|
Stroma
|
The dark reactions of photosynthesis occur in this part of the organelle in which it happens.
|
|
|
Organic Molecule
|
Examples of these include lipids, carbohydrates, and DNA.
|
|
|
Inorganic Molecule
|
Examples of these include water, carbon dioxide, and phosphorus.
|
|
|
Glycolysis
|
This is the name of the process by which glucose gets broken down.
|
|
|
Enzymes
|
The primary function of this cellular catalyst is either to synthesize or digest.
|
|
|
Polymers
|
These are long chains composed of monomers.
|
|
|
Lipids
|
This type of compound is made up of glycerol and fatty acids.
|
|
|
Heterotroph
|
This type of organism relies on eating other organisms as its source of energy.
|
|
|
Osmosis
|
This is also known as the diffusion of water.
|
|
|
Active Transport
|
This type of transport goes against the concentration gradient; that is, from low to high concentration.
|
|
|
Pyruvic Acid
|
When glucose is broken down
|
|
|
Glucose
|
This molecule is an example of a simple sugar.
|
|
|
Proteins
|
This molecule plays an integral role in facilitated diffusion.
|
|
|
Carbon Dioxide
|
This molecule is released in both aerobic respiration and alcoholic fermentation.
|
|
|
Oxygen
|
This molecule is released into air as a waste product by plants.
|
|
|
Cytoplasm
|
Glucose gets broken down in this organelle, before its products diffuse into the mitochondria.
|
|
|
Hypotonic
|
When cells are placed in this type of solution, they swell and burst.
|
|
|
Hypertonic
|
When cells are placed in this type of solution, they shrivel.
|
|
|
Mitochondria
|
This double-membraned organelle is also known as the powerhouse of the cell.
|
|
|
Chloroplast
|
One main difference between plant and animal cells is that plant cells contain this double-membraned organelle.
|
|
|
Ions
|
This type of charged substance cannot pass through the cell membrane readily.
|
|
|
Ribosome
|
This organelle is where proteins are synthesized.
|
|
|
Equilibrium
|
Diffusion continues until it reaches this state.
|
|
|
Thylakoid
|
These are pancake-like structures where the light reactions occur.
|
