| Cellular respiration (aerobic respiration) | A process that uses food (glucose) and oxygen to make energy in the mitochondria. |
| Photosynthesis | the process of making food (glucose) from inorganic molecules (sun and water). |
| Mitochondria | An organelle that is used to produce ATP. Celled the power house of the cell. |
| Glycolysis | The first part of cellular respiration and fermentation that does NOT need oxygen to produce 2 ATP molecules. |
| Krebs Cycle | the second part of cellular respiration that requires oxygen to produce 4 ATP molecules. |
| Electron Transport Chain | Third part of cellular respiration that requires energy inorder to produce 32/34 ATP molecules. |
| ATP | Adenosine Triphosphate, usable energy. |
| Fermentation (Anaerobic respiration) | A type of respiration where oxygen is NOT needed to carry out its functions to turn pyruvate molecules into either ethanol or lactic acid depending on the cell. |
| Aerobic | A type of reaction DOES need oxygen to carry out its function. |
| Anaerobic | A reaction that does NOT need oxygen to function. |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | A type of fermentation where the waste product is lactic acid. Process carried out in muscle cells. |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | A type of fermentation where the waste product is ethanol. Used in the production of bread, beer and wine. |
| Cytosol | the semi-fluid component of the cytoplasm. |
| Exergonic Reaction | A type of reaction where energy is produced. |
| Catabolic Reaction | A reaction where polymers are broken down into smaller pieces (monomers). |
| Glucose | Monosaccharide that is used to start cellular respiration. |
| Cytoplasm | An organelle that holds other organelles in place and allows for materials to be transported throughout the cell. |
| Product | The ending products of an equation. |
| Reactants | The starting products of an equation. |
| Yields | Found in an equations indicating what is produced. |
| ADP | Adenosine Diphosphate, stored energy. |
| Organic molecules | Molecules that contain carbon atoms. |
| Inorganic molecules | Molecules that DO NOT contain carbon atoms. |
| Calorie | The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of water 1 degree |
| Metabolism | All the chemical pathways (reactions) in an organism |
| Chemical Energy | Potential energy found in organic molecules. |
