| A | B |
|---|
| alcohol fermentation | yeast cells produce carbon dioxide and alcohol |
| aerobic heterotroph | uses free oxygen for respiration but cannot make own food |
| carbon fixation | plants turn inorganic carbon into organic compounds (carbohydrates) |
| aerobic respiration | respiration requiring oxygen |
| anaerobic respiration | respiration not requiring oxygen |
| photosynthesis | plants capture light energy & make food using carbon dioxide and water |
| ATP | adenosine triphosphate (aka energy) |
| cellular respiration | make energy for a cell to run on |
| mitochondria | site of cellular respiration |
| autotrophs | makes own food |
| chlorophyll | green pigment found in chloroplasts of plants |
| chloroplast | organelle in plants used for photosynthesis |
| enzyme | what speeds up reactions; catalyst |
| transpiration | losing water through the stoma in a leaf |
| yeast | makes alcohol and CO 2 through fermentation |
| lactic acid fermentation | breakdown of glucose into 2 lactic acid molecules |
| light reaction | change of light energy into chemical energy |
| dark reaction | a series of reactions involving carbon fixation; calvin cycle |
| pigment | a substance that absorbs light of a particular wavelength |
| organic compound | food or something w/ carbon in it |
| chromatography | technique to separate pigments of plants to examine |
| stoma, stomata | opening in leaf that lets gases and water in and out |
| guard cell | surround stomata/stoma; open & close to let gas in/out |
| muscle fatigue | lactic acid burn; build up of lactic acid in muscle |
| mitochondria | site of cellular respiration |
| organelle | small structure in cells |
| glucose | C6 H12 O6; sugar |
