| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The ability to do work. | Energy |
| The study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe. | Thermodynamics |
| Organisms that make their own food. | Autotrophs |
| Organisms that need to digest food to obtain energy. | Heterotrophs |
| All chemical reactions in a cell. | Metabolism |
| The anabolic pathway by whoch light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy for use by the cell. | Photosynthesis |
| Catabolic pathway by which organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell. | Cellular Respiration |
| The most important biological macromolecule that provides chemical energy. | ATP |
| The first compartment in chloroplast, flattened sacklike membrane that are arranged in stacks. | Thylakoid |
| Stacks formed in thylakoids. | Grana |
| The second compartment of chloroplasts, fluid filled space that is outside the grana. | Stroma |
| Light absorbing colored molecules. | Pigment |
| The major electron carrier in electron transport. | NADP+ |
| Phase two of photosynthesis where energy is stored in macromolecules such as glucose. | Calvin cycle |
| An enzyme that converts the remaining ten G3P molecules in 5-carbon molecules called ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphates(RuBP) | Rubisco |
| Metabolic process that does not require oxygen. | Anaerobic process |
| Metabloic process that requires oxygen. | Aerobic process |
| Metabolic process where pyruvate is broken down and electron carrier molecules are used to produce ATP through electron transport. | Aerobic respiration |
| The process in which glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm. | Glycolysis |
| The series of reactions where pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide. | Krebs cycle |
| Occurs in cytoplasmand regenerates the cells supply of NAD+ while producing a small amount of ATP. | Fermentation |
