| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical process where mitochondria break down food molecules to produce ATP. | Cellular Respiration |
| In cellular respiration, series of anaerobic chemical reaction in the cytoplasm that breaks down glucose. | Glycolosis |
| Electron (H-) carrier molecule. | NADP+ |
| Energy-storing molecule in cells composed of an adenosine molecule, a ribose sugar, and 3 phosphate groups. | ATP |
| Process by which autotrophs (plants) trap energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and use this energy to convert CO2 and water into Glucose. | Photosynthesis |
| Chemical reactions that do not require the presence of Oxygen. | Anaerobic Respiration |
| Phase of photosynthesis where energy from light-dependent reactions is used to produce glucose and additional ATP molecules. (AKA Calvin Cycle) | Light Independent Reaction |
| Reaction taking place in the thylakoid membranes of a chloroplast during Light Dep. Reactions where two molecules of water are split to form O2, (H-), and electrons. | Photolysis |
| Phase of photosynthesis where light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP. Splitting of water and releasing of O2 | Light Dependent Reaction |
| Chemical reactions that require the presence of Oxygen. | Aerobic Respiration |
| Molecule formed from the breaking off of a phosphate group from ATP. | ADP |
| Light-absorbing pigment in plants and some protists that is required for photosynthesis; absorbs most wavelengths of light except green. | Chlorophyll |
| Molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of sunlight. Can be in animals and plants. | Pigment |
| Series of reactions during the light-independent phase of photosynthesis in which glucose is formed from CO2 using ATP and (H-) from the light-dependent reactions. | Calvin Cycle |
