| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| autotroph | an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals |
| cellular transpiration | |
| consumer | an organism that cannot produce its own food and must eat other plants and/or animals to get energy |
| energy | the force that causes things to move |
| food | any substance consumed by an organism for nutritional support |
| glucose | A type of sugar; the chief source of energy for living organisms |
| heterotroph | an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients |
| photosyntesis | A chemical process that occurs in plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, when they are exposed to sunlight |
| producer | |
| Calvin cycle | the term used for the reactions of photosynthesis that use the energy stored by the light-dependent reactions to form glucose and other carbohydrate molecules |
| chemosyntesis | the process by which food is made by bacteria or other living things using chemicals as the energy source, typically in the absence of sunlight |
| chlorophyl | a pigment that gives plants their green color |
| electron transport chain | a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation. |
| grana | the components found inside chloroplasts of the plant cells |
| light reactions | the first stage of photosynthesis |
| photosystem | a protein complex, a group of two or more proteins, that is essential for the photochemistry of photosynthesis |
| stroma | The cells and tissues that support and give structure to organs, glands, or other tissues in the body |
| thykaloid membrane | an internal system of interconnected membranes, that carry out the light reactions of photosynthesis |
| aerobic respiration | the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water |
| anaerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration is the process of ATP synthesis without adequate oxygen delivery to tissues |
| glycosis | A process in which glucose (sugar) is partially broken down by cells in enzyme reactions that do not need oxygen |
| krebs cycle | |
| alcoholic fermentation | a biochemical process that converts sugars and other carbohydrates into alcohol and carbon dioxide through the action of microorganisms, primarily yeast or bacteria |
| fermentation | the process in which a substance breaks down into a simpler substance |
| lactic acid fermentation |
