| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| ATP | a molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to a cell process |
| ADP | a lower-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group |
| Chemosynthesis | a process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of light energy to make energy-storing carbon-based molecules |
| Photosynthesis | a process that uses sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy |
| Chlorophyll | a molecule in chloroplasts, that absorbs some of the energy in visible light |
| Thylakoids | membrane-enclosed compartments |
| Light-Dependent Reactions | capture energy from the sunlight |
| Light-Independent Reactions | use energy from the light-dependent reactions to make sugars |
| Cellular Respiration | releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP |
| Aerobic | needs oxygen for a reaction to take place |
| Glycolysis | splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules and makes two molecules of ATP |
| Anaerobic | a process that does not need oxygen to take place |
| Krebs Cycle | produces molecules that carry energy to the second part of cellular respirtation |
| Fermentation | does not make ATP, but it allows glycolysis to continue |
| Lactic Acid | what calls your muscles to "burn" during hard exercise |
