| ATP-adenosine triphosphate | Cheif Energy storing molecule used by organisms |
| Autotrophs | Organisms that make food from Carbon Dioxide and an energy source such as sunlight |
| Heterotrophs | Organisms that cannot make their own food |
| Photosynthesis | The process by which autotrophs convert sunlight into a usable form of energy |
| Pigment | a molecule that absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others |
| chlorophyll | a photosynthetic pigment that absorbs light and provides energy for photosynthesis |
| Chloroplast | An organelle that performs photosynthesis |
| Calvin Cycle | ATP and NADPH made in the light-dependent reactions are used for energy and hydrogen |
| Aerobic | Requires oxygen |
| Anaerobic | Takes place without oxygen |
| Glycolsis | the process by which glucose is converted to pyruvate and energy is released |
| Krebs Cycle | A set of reactions that breaks down acetyl-CoA to form CO2,ATP,NADH,FADH2 |
| Electron Transport | the process by which energy is transferred from NADH and FADH2 to ATP |
| Fermentation | the extraction of energy from pyruvate in the absence of oxygen |
| Cellular respiration | process by which glucose molecules are broken down to release energy |
| Sun | provides continuous supply of energy to the biosphere |
| Calorie | the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius |
| example of lactic acid fermentation | when the muscles of your body run out of oxygen |
| example of alcoholic fermentation | baking bread, making wine, beer, and ethanol |
| Pyruvate | a three-carbon molecule that enters the Krebs cycle |
| Stroma | the gel-like material inside the chloroplast(where Calvin cycle takes place) |
