1
New cards
energy
the ability to do work
2
New cards
photosynthesis
the anabolic pathway in which light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy for use in the cell
3
New cards
cellular respiration
the catabolic pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy for the cell
4
New cards
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
a biological molecule that provides the basic unit of chemical energy
5
New cards
thylakoid
flattened, saclike membranes arranged in stacks where the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis takes place
6
New cards
grana (singular or one stack, granum)
stacks of thylakoids
7
New cards
stroma
the fluid filled space outside the grana
8
New cards
pigment
Light-absorbing molecule
9
New cards
NADP+
electron carrying precursor to the energy carrying molecule NADPH
10
New cards
Calvin cycle
light-independent reactions where energy is stored in organic molecules
11
New cards
anaerobic
Process that does not require oxygen
12
New cards
aerobic
Process that requires oxygen
13
New cards
glycolysis
the process of breaking down glucose to produce ATP and NADPH
14
New cards
Krebs cycle
the breakdown of pyruvate into carbon dioxide releasing further energy
15
New cards
fermentation
known as anaerobic respiration, occurs in the cytoplasm to regenerate NAD+ and ATP
16
New cards
metabolism
all of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism
17
New cards
heterotroph
organisms that need to ingest food to obtain energy
18
New cards
autotroph
organisms that make their own food.
19
New cards
chemoautotrophs
organisms that use inorganic substances as a source of energy
20
New cards
Chlorophyll
A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria
