| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| energy | the ability to do work |
| food | organic molecules that store energy in their chemical bonds |
| autotrophs | organisms that make their own food |
| photosynthesis | process where the energy in sunlight makes food |
| producers | produce food for themselves and all other living things |
| heteotrophs | living things that can not make their own food |
| consumers | organisms that get there food by consuming other organisms |
| Glucose | it stores chemical energy in a concentrated stable form. |
| cellular respiration | process in which glucose is broken down and ATP is made |
| light reactions | it uses water and changes light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH. |
| Calvin cycle | combines carbon from carbon dioxide in the air and uses the chemical energy in ATP and NADPH to make glucose. |
| grana | neat stacks in the chloroplast. |
| thylakoid membranes | sac-like membranes |
| photosynthesis | groups of molecules that include chlorophyll |
| chlorophyll | a green pigment |
| stroma | space outside the thylakoid membranes |
| electron transport chain | two electrons are passed from molecule to molecule down the chain. |
| chemosynthesis | bacteria makes food that uses chemical energy instead of light energy. |
| glycolysis | first stage of cellular respiration, it takes place in the cytosol of the cytoplasm |
| anaerobic respiration | cellular respiration that proceeds without oxygen |
| aerobic respiration | cellular respiration that proceeds in the presence of oxygen |
| Krebs cycle | a series of chemical reactions in living things in which acetic acid or a related substance is oxidized to produce energy which is stored in ATP. |
| fermentation | involves glycolysis but not the other two stages |
| lactic acid fermentation | pyruvic acid from glycolysis changes to lactic acid. |
| alcoholic fermentation | pyruvic acid changes to alcohol and carbon dioxide. |
