| high-energy molecule that contains, within its bonds, energy that cells can use |
| low-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP |
| process by which ATP us synthesized by using chemicals as an energy source instead of light |
| process by which light energy can be converted into chemical energy |
| light-absorbing pigment molecule in photosynthesis organisms |
| membrane-bound structure within chloroplasts that contains chlorophyll and other light-absorbing pigments used in thr light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis |
| part of photosynthesis that absorbs energy from sunlight and transfers energy to the light-independent reactions |
| part of photosynthesis that uses energy absorbed during the light-dependent reactions to synthesize carbohydrates |
| series of light-absorbing pigments and proteins that capture and transfer energy in the thylakoid membrane |
| series if protein in the thylakoid and mitochondria membranes that aid in converting ADP to ATP by transferring electrons |
| enzyme that catalyzes the reaction that adds a high-energy phosphate group to ADP for ATP |
| process by which a photosynthetic organism uses energy to synthesize simple sugars from CO*2 |
| producing ATP by breaking down carbon-based molecules when oxygen is present |
| requires oxygen |
| anaerobic process in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate and two net ATP are produced |
| does not require oxygen |
| process during cell. resp. that breaks down a carbon molecule to produce molecules that are used in the electron transport chain |
| anaerobic process by which ATP is produced by glycolysis |
| product of fermentation in many types of fells, including human muscle cells |
