A metabolic process that requires oxygen

A pigmented molecule that absorbs specific wavelengths of light. It gives plants and some algae their color.

Double-membrane organelle that captures light energy and converts it to chemical energy through photosynthesis

Electron transport chain

Series of compounds that move electrons along a membrane. This is coupled with the transport of protons and used to create energy.

Explains that eukaryotic cells may have evolved from prokaryotic cells.

Process after glycolysis allowing limited production of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

Widely used sugar molecule by living organisms with the formula C6H12O6 (ring structure)

Anaerobic process; first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate. Occurs in the cytoplasm

One of the stacks of pigment-containing thylakoids in a plant's chloroplasts.

Series of reactions in which pyruvate is broken down into CO2 inside the mitochondria; 2nd stage of cellular respiration

Part of photosynthesis, these reactions take place in the thylakoids of the chloroplast and provide energy for the production of glucose in the next stage.

All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism

Membrane-bound organelles that convert fuel into energy that is useable by the cell.

Two-phase anabolic pathway in which the sun's light energy is converted into chemical energy (glucose).

Light-absorbing colored molecule such as chlorophyll and carotenoid in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Fluid-filled space outside the grana in the chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.

Study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe

In chloroplasts, one of the stacked, flattened, pigment-containing membranes in which the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.

Metabolic process in which pyruvate is broken down and electron-carrier molecules are used to produce ATP through electron transport. Occurs in the mitochondrion

Metabolic process that does not require oxygen

Energy-carrying biological molecule which when broken down provides energy for cellular activities.

Light-independent reactions during phase 2 of photosynthesis in which energy is stored in glucose molecules.

Organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio; source of fuel/energy

Catabolic pathway in which organic molecules (such as glucose) are broken down to release energy (ATP) for use by the cell.
