Question | Answer |
---|---|
ATP | High energy molecule found in every cell. |
ADP | An organic compound that is composed of adenosine. |
Chemosynthesis | The synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the absence of sunlight |
Photosynthesis | The process in which plants take sunlight and proteins from the ground to collect food for themselves. |
Chlorophyll | Green pigment in plants |
Thylakoid | Flattened sacs in chlorophyll |
Light-dependent reactions | This process uses light energy to create new molecules |
Light-independent reactions | Converts darkness into protein |
Photosystem | a process in which chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis |
Electron Transport chain | The site/place of the mitochondria |
ATP synthase | where an enzyme creates a molecule to store things. |
Calvin Cycle | a set of chemical reaction that happens in Chloroplast during photosynthesis |
Cellular respiration | set of metabolic reactions |
Aerobic | uses oxygen to start cellular respiration |
Glycolysis | breaks down glucose in cells. |
Anaerobic | to free oxygen |
Krebs cycle | series of chemical reactions , apart of the process of aerobic cell metabolism, by which glucose and other molecules are broken down in the presence of oxygen into carbon dioxide and water to release chemical energy in the form of ATP. |
Fermentation | a chemical breakdown of a substance |
lactic acid | comes from the process of fermentaion |
