| Photosystems | cluster of pigment molecules that capture energy from sunlight |
| Anaerobic | process that allows cells to produce energy with out the presence of oxygen |
| Energy bonds | chemical bonds that connect the phosphate groups and contain the actual energy of the ATP molecule |
| Chlorophyll | A green pigment and is the most pigment found in green plants |
| mitochondria | powerhouse of the cell changes chemical energy into a form the cell can use |
| Photosynthesis | process in which plants convert the energy of sunlight into the energy of the chemical bonds of carbohydrates |
| calvin cycle | dark reaction. Part of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide and hydrogen combine to from gluclose which is the food for autotrophs |
| Autotrophs | organisms that are able to use a source of energy(sunlight) to produce food directly from simple inorganic molecules in the enviroment. Ex. Plants, algae & some bacteria |
| Xanthrophylls | yellow pigments found in some plants |
| Visible light | wavelengths that can be seen with the naked eye |
| Heterotrophs | organisms that can obtain energy form the food they eat |
| Caroteniods | orange pigments found in plants |
| citric acid cylce | series of reactions that changes pyruvic acid into 38 ATP(36 net) to be used by the body |
| Respiration | a process which involves oxygen and breaks down the food molecule to release energy |
| Aerobic | process that occurs with oxygen |
| Ribose | 5 nitrogen base |
| colors on the visible spevtrum | red, orange, yellow, blue |
