| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen. | Photosynthesis |
| An organism that produces its own nutrients from inorganic substances or from the environment instead of consuming other organisms | Autotroph |
| An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by products and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic materials. | Heterotroph |
| The process by which cells produce energy from carbohydrates. | Cellular Respiration |
| A substance that gives another substance or a mixture its color. | Pigment |
| A green pigment that is present in most plant cells, that gives plants their characteristic green color, and that reacts with sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to form carbohydrates. | Chlorophyll |
| A class of pigments that are present mostly in plants and that aid in photosynthesis. | Carotenoid |
| A membrane system found within chloroplast that contains the components for photosynthesis. | Thylakoid |
| A series of molecules, found in the inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts, through which electrons pass in a process that causes protons to build on one side of the membrane. | Electron Transport Chain |
| An electron carrier that provides the high energy electrons, needed to make carbon oxide for the third stage of photosynthesis. | NADPH |
| The synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide, such as in photosynthesis. | Carbon Dioxide Firation |
| A biochemical pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP. | Calvin Cycle |
| Describes a process that requires oxygen. | Aerobic |
| Describes a process that does not require oxygen. | Anaerobic |
| The anaerobic break down of glucose pyruvic acid. | Glycolysis |
| A form of electron carrier. | NADH |
| A series of biochemical reactions that convert pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and water. | Krebs Cycle |
| The breakdown of carbohydrates by enzines, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in the obsence of oxygen. | Fermentation |
