Life science
ATP
Small molecule that cells use for energey
Autotroph
Any chromosome that is not a s3x chromosome
Cellular respiration
Process in which cells break,glucose,release the stored energy,and use the energy to make ATP
Heterotroph
living thing that obtains glucose by eatinn other organisms ("Other feeder")
Photosynthesis
process in which glucose is made from carbon dioxide and water using the energy light.
producer
type of organism that uses light or chemical energy to produce organic componds for itself and other living things
chlorophyll
green pigment in the chloroplats of plant-like protists that give them their green color and absorbs light energy during the process of photosynthesis
chloroplast
type of plastid,or plant organelle,that contains chlorophyll snd is the site of photosynthesis
light reactions
first stage of photosynthesis in which energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and temporarily transferred to ATP
product
End result of a reaction
reactant
molecules that come together to start a reaction
stomata
tiny pore in the leaf of a plant that can open and close to contol the movement of gases between the leaf and the air
Aerobic
relating to any organism or process that requires oxygen
Alcoholic fermentation
biochemical process in which sugars are converted into small amounts of ATP,producing etharo and carbon dioxide during the process
anaerobic
relating to any organism or process that dose not require oxygen
anaerobic respiration
cellular respiration that occurs in the absense of oxygen
Fermentation
form of resperation that take place without oxygen in bacteria,yeast and some other cells,types include. lactic acid abd alcoholic fermentation
glucose
simple sugar that all living things use to store and transport energy
glycolysis
first stage if celluar respertation, which occurs in the cytoplasm,requires no oxygen,and produce two molecules of ATP
lactic acid fermentaion
type of anarobic respiration carried out by bacteria and animal muscle cells when oxygen cannot be deliverd to the cells fast enough,producing lactic acid as a waste a product
