All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism.

Two-phase anabolic pathway in which the Sun's light energy is converted to chemical energy for use by the cell.

Catabolic pathway in which organic molecules are broken don to release energy for use by the cell.

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Energy-carrying biologic molecule, which, when broken don, drives cellular activities.

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

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

Fluid-filled space outside the grans in which light-dependent reactions take place.

Study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe.

First Law of Thermodynamics

Energy can be converted from one form to another, but cannot be created nor destroyed.

Second Law of Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be converted without the loss of usable energy.

Light-absobring colored molecule, such as chlorophyll and carotenoid, in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts.

A coenzyme that exists in many living cells

Light-independent rea lions during phase two of photosynthesis in which energy is stored in organic molecule as glucose.

Enzyme that converts inorganic carbon dioxide molecules into organic molecules during the final step of the Calvin cycle.

Metabolic process that does to require oxygen.

Metabolic process in which pryruvate is broken don and electro-carrier molecule are used to produce ATP though electron transport

A metabolic process that requires oxygen

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

Series of rations in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide inside the mitochondria of cells, also called the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the citric acid cycle.

Process in which NAD is regenerated, allowing cells to maintain glycolysis in the absence of oxygen.

Lactic Acid Fermentation

Enzymes convert they pyruvate made during glycolysis to lactic acid.

The movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient.

Electron carriers are reduced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to NADH +H and FADH2. These carrier then donate electrons and protons to the electron carrier proteins of the electron transport chain.
