| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates | Photosynthesis |
| Stacks that are formed from thylakoids. Plural form is Grana. | Granum |
| Second stage of photosynthesis; the organic compounds are formed using CO2 and the chemical energy is stored in ATP and NADPH | Calvin Cycle |
| First stage of photosynthesis; light energy that is converted to chemical energy | Light Reactions |
| The solution surrounding the Granum/grana | Stroma |
| The synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide like in photosynthesis | Carbon Fixation |
| A pigment that absorbs light energy and transfers it to chlorophyll in photosynthesis | Accessory Pigment |
| A pigment in plant cells that gives the plant its green color. It reacts with sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to form carbohydrates | Chlorophyll |
| A organelle in plant cells that photosynthesis occurs | Chloroplast |
| Flattened sacs inside the inner membrane of chloroplasts | Thylakoid |
| pigments that are within the thyroid membrane of plants that aid in photosynthesis | Carotenoid |
| The process in which organic compounds are turned into ATP | Celular Respiration |
| The combination of glycolysis and anaerobic pathways | Fermentation |
| The folds in the inner membrane of mitochondria | Cristae (crista) |
| When something does not need oxygen. | Anaerobic |
| Biochemical reactions that convert pyretic acid into carbon dioxide and water. MAJOR pathway of oxidation is plant, animal, and bacteria cells. It releases energy. | Krabs Cycle |
| An organic compound/carbohydrate and is mainly the organic compound uses in photosynthesis. | Glucose |
| The part of respiration that is carried out when oxygen is present; pryruvic acid is broken down and NADH is used to make large amounts of ATP. | Aerobic Respiration |
| Organic compound that is the main nervy source for the cell process. | ATP |
| Organic compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It provides nutrients to the cells of living things. | Carbohydrate |
| anaerobic process that breaks down glucose to pyruvic acid. | Glycolysis |
| The cell organelle that is surrounded by two membranes and is the site of cellular respiration. Produces ATP | mitochondria |
| a series of molecules inside the inner membranes of chloroplasts and mitochondria that electrons pass in a process that causes protons to build up on one side of the membrane. | Electron Transport Chain |
