| Adenosine Triphosphate | a chemical compound used by living organisms to store and release energy |
| Adenosine Diphosphate | a chemical compound that can be converted to ATP with the addition of one phosphate group. |
| Cellular Respiration | process used in cells to break down glucose and produce ATP |
| Glycolysis | the first step in cellular respiration taht takes place in the cytoplasm and converts one molecule of glucose to a net of two molecules of ATP |
| Aerobic Respiration | process that requires oxygen to produce a net of 36 molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose |
| Mitochondria | part of the cell where aerobic respiration take place |
| Krebs Cycle | that part of aerobic respiration that takes place in the mitochondria and produces two molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose |
| Electron Transport Chain | the part of aerobic respiration that occurs in the mitochondria after the Krebs cycle and produces a net of 36 more ATP molecules for every one molecule of glucose. |
| Anerobic Respiration | process that does not require oxygen and produces a net of 2 molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glulcose |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | anaerobic cellular respiration that occurs in animals and some bacteria. |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | anaerobic cellular respiration that occurs in plants and other microorganisms such as yeast. |
| Heterotrophs | consumers; organisms, such as animals, that obtain energy by consuming plants and other animals. |
| Autotrophs | producers; organisms, such as plants, that usually use energy directly from the sun to produce glucose and other carbohydrates. |
| Carbon Fixation | the process of converting the inorganic carbon found in carbon dioxide to organic carbon in glucose. |
| Photosynthesis | process used by autotrophs that use the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide to glucose and oxygen. |
| Chlorophyll | the green pigment found in chloroplasts of plant cells that absorbs energy from the sun and uses that energy in the first stage of photosynthesis |
| Calvin Cycle | the stage of photosynthesis that does not require light. |
