| ATP | Energy molecule of cells that has one adenosine molecule and three phosphate groups attached. |
| ADP | Lower energy form of ATP - has just two phosphate groups attached. |
| photosynthesis | Process that plants use to trap the sun's energy and build carbohydrates, called glucose, that store energy |
| light-dependent reactions | Convert light enrgy into chemical energy (make ATP). |
| light-independent reactions | Use energy stored in ATP to build glucose molecules. |
| pigments | Molecules that trap specific wavelengths of sunlight. |
| chlorophyll | Green pigment found in chloroplasts of plants. |
| cellular respiration | Process by which mitochondria break down food molecules to produce ATP. |
| anaerobic | First stage of sugar breakdown where no oxygen is needed. |
| glycolysis | The breakdown of sugar by cells to make ATP. |
| lactic acid fermentation | Supplies energy to cells when oxygen is scarce. |
| alcoholic fermentation | When yeast break down sugar to produce CO2 and alcohol. |
| West Hills | The coolest High School ever. |
