Term
Cellular respiration
Definition
the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose, and other food molecules
Term
What is the most common source of food energy?
Definition
Carbohydrates
Term
What is the most important product of respiration?
Definition
energy for life processes
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
process in which 1 molecule of glucose is broken in half producing 2 molecules of pyruvic acid, a 3-carbon compound; end result is 4 atp
Term
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Definition
main energy-starting molecule used by orangnisms
Term
fermentation
Definition
production of ATP without oxygen
Term
Alcohlic fermentation
Definition
produces alchol and Co2 Bread) as wastes
Term
Lactic acid fermentation
Definition
produces lactic acid that builds up in the muscle
Term
aerobic
Definition
mean it needs oxygen to happen
Term
The Krebs Cycle
Definition
process by which pyruvic aid is broken down into carbon dioxide; it genorates high-energy electrons that are passed to NADH & FADH2
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition
series of proteins in which high-enerygy electrons are used to convert ADPinto ATP
Term
Photosynthesis
Definition
process by which plants use the eergy of the sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxideinto carohydrates and oxygen
Term
Calvin Cycle
Definition
separates carbon from carbon dioxide
Term
Cellular respiration in 3 processes:
Definition

1. Glycolysis

2.The Krebs Cycle

3. Electron Transport Chain

Term
Photosynesis in 2 stages:
Definition

1. Light-dependent reactions

2.the calvin cycle
