A | B |
a chemical compound used by living organisms to store and release energy | Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) |
a chemical compound that can be converted to ATP with the addition of one phosphate group | Adenoside Diphosphate (ADP) |
process used in cells to break down glucose and produce ATP | Cellular respiration |
the first step in cellular respiration that takes place in the cytoplasm and converts one molecule of glucose to a net of two molecules of ATP | Glycolysis |
process that requires oxygen to produce a net of 36 molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose | Aerobic respiration |
part of the cell where aerobic respiration takes place | mitochondria |
the part of aerobic respiration that takes place in the mitochondria and produces two molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose | Krebs cycle |
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 | Electron Transport Chain (CR) |
process that does not require oxygen and produces a net of 2 molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose | Anaerobic Respiration |
anaerobic cellular respiration that occurs in animals and some bacteria | lactic acid fermentation |
anaerobic cellular respiration that occurs in plants and other microorganisms such as yeast | alcoholic fermentation |
organisms, such as animals, that obtain energy by consuming plants and other animals | heterotrophs |
organisms, such as plants, that usually use energy directly from the sun to produce glucose and other carbohydrates | autotrophs |
the process of converting the inorganic carbon found in carbon dioxide to organic carbon in glucose | carbon fixation |
process used by autotrophs that uses the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide to glucose (simple sugar) and oxygen | photosynthesis |
the green pigment found in chloroplasts of plant cells that absorbs energy form the sub and uses that energy in the first stage of photosynthesis | chlorophyll |
the stage of photosynthesis that does not require light | Calvin cycle |
Organelle in which photosynthesis occurs | chloroplasts |
Another name for the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis | Light Independent Reactions |
First part of photosynthesis in which light energy is captured from the sun and ADP is converted into ATP | Light Dependent Reactions |
