Unit 1 List 2 Cell Energy LC

An organism that can produce its own food

The process of photosynthesis that converst energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of NADPH and ATP.

A pigment in the leaves of a plant that helps it photosythisize.

A process where water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide are used and processed in chloroplasts to make energy for autotrophs.

A cycle that occurs in the chlorplasts and has chemical reactions where the carbon from the carbon cycle is fixed into sugars

A sequence of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, developing an electrochemical gradient that results in the creation of ATP in a system named oxidative phosphorylation

the product of the first level of photosythesis

Any colored material that is found in plants and animal cells.

a coin-shaped stack of thylakoids, which are the membrane-like structures found inside the chloroplasts of plant cells.

A pore in the bottom of a leaf that controls what gasses come in and out of the plant.

The process by which plants and algae convert the carbon found in inorganic molecules in the atmosphere into organic matter to produce biological building blocks and fuel for cellular respiration.

An organism that feeds off other animals for energy and nutrients.

pouch-like sacs that are bound to a membrane in the chloroplasts of a plant cell

Accessory pigments that help the process of photosynthesis.

A gel-like material in the mitochondrion, or organelle that performs the process of aerobic respiration, that contains ribosomes resembling those of bacteria.

the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food

an enzyme that has organisms convert starch or sugar to alcohol or an acid anaerobically releasing energy.

a coenzyme molecule involved in a number of important biological processes such as the transport of high-energy electrons for the production of ATP via aerobic respiration.

the anaerobic transformation of fructose and glucose (sugars) into ethanol and carbon dioxide

A process in which glucose (sugar) is partially broken down by cells in enzyme reactions that do not need oxygen.

This is produced by the body and is used for making energy.

Without oxygen

a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP,

a series of chemical reactions in living things in which acetic acid or a related substance is oxidized to produce energy which is stored in ATP
