ATP | molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell processes |
ADP | lower-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group |
chemosynthesis | a process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of light energy to make energy-storing carbon-based molecules |
photosynthesis | process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy |
chlorophyll | molecule in chloroplasts that absorbs some energy in visible light |
thylakoids | stacks of coin-shaped, membrane-enclosed compartments |
light-dependent reactions | capture energy from sunlight; sunlight is needed |

cellular respiration | released chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present |
aerobic | needs oxygen to take place |
glycolysis | splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules and makes two molecules of ATP |
anaerobic | does not need oxygen to take place |
