| Oxidation | the loss of electrons and a substnace involved in a redox reaction |
| Reduction | The addition of electrons to a substance involved in a redox reaction |
| Glycolysis | The splitting of glucose into pyruvate |
| Phosphorylation | Process of light reactionof photosynthesis, in which ATP is generated from ADP and phosphate by means of a protein-motive force generated by the thylakoid membrane of the cloroplast |
| Mitochondrion | Organelle in eukaryotic cells that serves as the site for cellular respiration |
| Photosynthesis | Conversion of light energy to chemical energy that is stored in glucose or other organic compounds |
| Kreb's Cycle | Chemical cycle that completes the metabolic breakdown of glucose molecules to carbon dioxide; sencond major stage in cellular respiration |
| Electron Transport Chain | Sequence of electron carrier molecules (membrane proteins) that shuttle electrons during the redox reactions that release energy used to make ATP |
| Chemiosmosis | An energy-coupling mechanism that uses energy stored in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work, such as the synthesis of ATP |
| Acetyl CoA | Entry compound for the Kreb's cycle in cellular respiration |
| Chloroplast | An organelle foundonly in plants and phtosynthetic protists that absorbs sunlight and uses it to drive the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water |
