aerobic respiration
respiration that requires oxygen
anaerobic respiration
respiration that does not require oxygen
ATP
(adenosine triphosphate)
main energy source that cells use for most of their work
autotroph
producers; organisms that can produce their own food
e.g. plants and algae
cellular respiration
the process by which cells convert glucose into energy
cellular respiration equation
glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy
chemical energy
energy stored in chemical bonds
ex. sugar and gasoline
chlorophyll
green pigment in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
chloroplast
an organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
glucose
a simple sugar that is an important source of energy
glucose formula
heterotrophs
consumers; rely on other organisms for their energy and food supply
mitochondria
organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production
photosynthesis
conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy.
photosynthesis equation
carbon dioxide + water + sunlight --> glucose + oxygen
