Aerobic cellular respiration

The process by which cells use oxygen and breakdown sugar molecules to form ATP, which they use to perform their functions.

anaerobic respiration

A way cells make energy without using oxygen. It happens in some bacteria and during hard exercise when your muscles run low on oxygen.

The first step in breaking down sugar (glucose) to release energy. It happens in the cytoplasm of the cell and does not need oxygen.

A process cells use to make energy when there is no oxygen. It produces small amounts of energy and can create substances like lactic acid or alcohol.

The process by which cells break down sugar and other molecules to release energy, which they use to perform their functions.

Connections between atoms in a molecule. These bonds store energy that can be released during chemical reactions.

A molecule that carries energy within cells. It is often called the "energy currency" of the cell because it provides the energy needed for many cellular processes.

Energy stored in the bonds of molecules, like the energy in food that our bodies use.

The materials or substances that go into a process, like sugar and oxygen in respiration.

The materials or substances that come out of a process, like ATP and carbon dioxide in respiration.

Anything that has mass and takes up space, including solids, liquids, and gases.

The process of changing one form of matter or energy into another, like light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

The ability to do work or cause change, found in different forms like light, chemical, and heat.

The basic activities all living things do to stay alive, like breathing, growing, eating, and reproducing.

organelle inside cells that make energy for the cell. They are often called the “powerhouses” of the cell.

A jelly-like substance inside a cell that holds all the cell parts in place and helps them work together.
