autotroph | organisms that make their own food |
cellular respiration | process that breaks down glucose into ATP |
consumer | organisms that are heterotrophs |
energy | the ability to do work |
food | organic molecules that store energy in their chemical bonds |
glucose | simple carbohydrate used as an energy source |
heterotroph | organisms that must consumer other organisms for food |
photosynthesis | process that uses energy from sunlight to make food |
producer | organisms that are autotrophs |
Calvin cycle | stage two of photosynthesis |
chemosynthesis | process that uses chemical energy instead of light energy |
chlorphyll | green pigment |
electron transport chain | series of electron-transport molecules that pass high energy electrons from molecules to molecule and capture their energy |
