| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| (adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work | ATP |
| reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars | Calvin cycle |
| Sugar, Manufactured during photosynthesis, Main source of energy for plants and animals, Metabolized during cellular respiration | glucose |
| A catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an electron transport chain and that produces a characteristic end product, such as ethyl alcohol or lactic acid. | fermentation |
| first step in releasing the energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid | glycolysis |
| waste product produced by Fermentation; causes muscles to be sore | lactic acid |
| process that requires oxygen | aerobic |
| process that does not require oxygen. | anaerobic |
| the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules | respiration |
| a chemical substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction | reactant |
| a chemical substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction | product |
