| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ATP | high energy molecule that contains energy that the cell can use |
| ADP | low energy molecules that can be converted to ATP |
| chemosythesis | ATP is sythesized by using chemicals as an energy source instead of light |
| photosythesis | light energy is converted to chemical energy; produces sugar and oxygen |
| chloryphyll | light-absorbing pigment molecule in photosythesis organisms |
| thyloid | membrane bound structure within chloroplast that contains and other light absorbing pigments used in the light-dependent reactions of photosythesis |
| Light-dependent reactions | part of photosynthesis that absorbs energy from sunlight and transfers energy to the light-independent reactions |
| Light-independent reactions | part of photosynthesis that uses energy absorbed during that light-defendant reactions to synthesize carbohydrates |
| Photosystem | series of light-absorbing pigments and proteins that capture and transfer energy in the thylakoid membrane |
| Electron transport chain | series of proteins in the thylakoid and mitochondrial membranes that aid in converting ADP to ATP by transferring electrons |
| ATP synthase | enzyme that catalyzes the reaction that adds a high-energy phosphate group to form ATP |
| Calvin cycle | process that hardens bones by adding calcium phosphate and collagen |
| Cellular respiratory | process of producing ATP by breaking down carbon-based molecules when oxygen is present |
| Aerobic | process that requires oxygen to occurGlycolysis: anaerobic process in which glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate and 2 net ATP are produced |
| Anaerobic | process that does not require oxygen to occur |
| Krebs cycle | process during cellular respiration that breaks down a carbon molecule to produce molecules that are used in the electron transport chain |
| Fermentation | anaerobic process by which ATP is produced by glycolysis |
| Lactic acid | product of fermentation in many types of cells, such as human muscle cells |
