| a biomolecule used by living organisms to store and release energy | Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) |
| a biomolecule that can be converted to ATP with the addition of one phosphate group | Adenoside Diphosphate (ADP) |
| process that converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water and stores energy as 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 2 molecules of ATP | Glycolysis |
| process that requires oxygen to produce a net of approximately 36 molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose | Aerobic respiration |
| Cell organelles where aerobic respiration takes place | mitochondria |
| the part of aerobic respiration that takes place in the mitochondria and produces 2 molecules of ATP for every one molecule of glucose | Krebs cycle (AKA: citric acid cycle) |
| the part of aerobic respiration that occurs in the mitochondria after the Krebs cycle and produces a net of 32 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 |
| Organelles found in plant cells (and photosynthetic autotrophs); where photosynthesis takes place | 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 |
| Energy in motion | Kinetic Energy |
| The chemical reactions that occur in a cell to maintain life | Metabolism |
| Energy that is stored | Potential Energy |
| A stack of thylakoids within a chloroplast | Granum |
| The water-based fluid region outside of the thylakoid membranes where the Calvin cycle takes place | Stroma |
| Sac-like membranes found within chloroplasts that contain the photosynthetic pigments | Thylakoids |
