100

The purest, simplest form of sugar

Glucose

100

Phase of photosynthesis that takes place only during the day

Light Dependent Reactions/Light Cycle

100

The primary product of glycolysis

Pyruvate

100

The main product of photosynthesis, and the reason photosynthesis occurs

Glucose

100

Released on Green Day's seventh studio album of the same name, this is considered one of the band's most popular songs. Written when criticism of the Bush administration's handling of the Iraqi-Afghanistan Wars was at its peak, this critique of American society pushes against the government, the people, and The Man in general.

American Idiot

200

The chemical that, when phosphorylated, acts as the energy currency of the cell

ATP

200

Phase of Cellular Respiration that breaks Glucose into Pyruvate

Glycolysis

200

The area of the Mitochondria where the Electron Transport Chain occurs

Membrane

200

The area of the Chloroplast where the light dependent reactions occur

Grana

200

Originally the lead-in to Van Halen's "You Really Got Me," this 1978 classic from the band's self-titled album consists entirely of Eddie Van Halen's best guitar solo. 

Eruption

300

A reactant in photosynthesis and a product in cellular respiration, this chemical is combined with itself during the Calvin Cycle to form glucose

Carbon Dioxide

300

Phase of Cellular Respiration that processes NADH, ADP, and Oxygen into Water and a lot of ATP

Electron Transport Chain

300

The number of NET ATP generated during the Citric Acid Cycle and Glycolysis

4 ATP total, 2 per phase

300

Plants like cacti or aloe vera which close their stomata during the day to conserve water are called...

CAM Plants

300

Released alongside The Hu's most well-known (and first) studio album, The Gereg, this 2018 metal song detailing the historic strategies of the historic Genghis Kahn introduced Hunnu Rock to a much wider audience.

Wolf Totem

400

One of the two forms of radical electron carriers, this chemical scoops up Hydrogen and radical electrons during the first two stages of Cellular Respiration.

NAD+/NADH

400

The only phase of Cellular Respiration that is entirely anaerobic

Glycolysis

400

The main product of fermentation in species that do not produce ethanol

Lactate/Lactic Acid

400

This chemical did not originally exist in large quantities in the atmosphere until photosynthesizers evolved the ability to process CO2 and release this waste product into the air.

Oxygen

400

Released as the lead single on Rush's twelfth studio album, Hold Your Fire, this progressive rock classic laments how quickly the years fly by when your life is on the road

Time Stand Still

500

Another form of radical electron carrier found only in the Citric Acid Cycle

FAD+/FADH

500

Phase of the Light Independent Reactions that creates G3P as a primary product

Oxidation

500

Chemical used as the first initial reactant of the Citric Acid Cycle, which combines with another sugar to make Citrate

Acetyl-CoA

500

Plants that contain their photosynthetic processes to small areas called bundle sheaths, and use a specialized, 4-carbon sugar in the Calvin Cycle.

C4 Plants

500

Once known as the "Troll Song," this song by Eduard Khil is most popular for its non-lyrical performance in 1976 on Soviet television, which became popular in 2010. The song does originally have lyrics describing a cowboy riding a horse back home to see his wife.
