| photosynthesis | process that changes light energy into chemical energy |
| cellular respiration | process that converts sugar into ATP (energy) |
| ATP | usable energy source in cells |
| photosynthesis equation | carbon dioxide + water + sunlight turns into sugar + oxygen |
| cellular respiration equation | sugar + oxygen turns into ATP + carbon dioxide + water |
| autotroph | makes own food internally |
| heterotroph | gets food from outside source |
| pigment | A substance that absorbs light |
| Chlorophyll | The primary pigment involved in photosynthesis |
| Calvin cycle | A series of enzyme assisted chemical reactions that produces a three-carbon sugar molecule |
| Carbon dioxide fixation | The transfer of carbon dioxide to organic compounds |
| Oxygen | The major atmospheric byproduct of photosynthesis |
| Thylakoids | Disk shaped structures inside chloroplasts |
| Electron transport chain | The series of molecules down which excited electrons are passes in a thylakoid membrane. |
| Aerobic | A process that requires oxygen |
| Anaerobic | A process that does not require oxygen |
| Kreb's Cycle | A series of enzyme assisted chemical reactions following glycolysis that produces carbon dioxide |
| Glycolysis | The process by which glucose is broken down to pyruvate |
