| autotroph | organisms that make their own food |
| heterotroph | organisms that depend on other organisms for food |
| energy | the ability to do work |
| photosynthesis | carbon dioxide+water+light-->sugar+oxygen |
| chlorophyll | the primary catalyst of photosynthesis |
| aerobic cellular respiration | sugar + oxygen --> water + carbon dioxide + ATP (energy) |
| anaerobic cellular respiration | does not require oxygen, ie fermentation |
| metabolism | sum of all life processes |
| mRNA, tRNA, rRNA | three types of RNA |
| anabolism | those processes which build molecules and store energy |
