An acid that is built-up in muscles during exercise.
What is lactic acid?
The site of cellular respiration/ ATP production
What is the mitochondria?
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
What is photosynthesis
Complex 3D organic molecule responsible for lowering the activation energy f a chemical reaction.
What is an enzyme?
The energy currency of the cell
What is ATP?
Doesn't requires oxygen
What is anaerobic?
The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy.
What is active transport?
An organell where photosynthesis takes place.
What is a chloroplast
The monomer of a protein.
What is an amino acid?
The process of splitting glucose into pyruvic acid?
What is Glycolysis?
A process by which some bacteria and yeasts release energy without using oxygen.
What is fermentation?

What is endocytosis?
The three most abundant elements in living things.
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
A green pigment responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
A process that requires oxygen to release energy.
What is Aerobic respiration?
An organism that obtains energy from sunlight or inorganic compounds.
What is an autotroph or producer
A process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
What is exocytosis?
Controls the amount of light entering the microscope.
What is a diaphragm?
A smelly chemical in bread that is usually produced by yeast?
What is ethyl alcohol?
a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input.
What is passive transport
It regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cytoplasm
What is a plasma membrane.
Short term energy storage for an organism.
What is a carbohydrate?
A solution that can cause cells to lyse?
What is hypotonic?
