Term
ATP
Definition
Is an organic molecule that is used for short-term energy storage and transport in the cell.
Term
ATP-ADP cycle
Definition
ATP cannot be stored for later use. instead, ADP is constantly recombined With phosphates to form new molecules of ATP, which gives cells the energy they need.
Term
Photosynthesis
Definition
Is the process by which some organisms capture the energy of sunlight and use it to make food in the form of glucose.
Term
Chlorophyll
Definition
The main pigment that involves in photosynthesis, the green pigment that gives plants their color
Term
Chloroplasts
Definition
Were photosynthesis take place
Term
Calvin cycle
Definition
Is a series of reactions that form the simple sugar glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
Term
Cellular respiration
Definition
Is a process by which cells release the energy stored in the chemical bonds of food molecules.
Term
Aerobic
Definition
Process is one that requires oxygen.
Term
Anaerobic
Definition
Process is one that does not requires oxygen.
Term
Fermentation
Definition
Is a process that enables cells to release energy in the absence of oxygen.
