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?
ribosome
A process by which some bacteria and yeasts release energy without using oxygen.
What is fermentation?
Microscopic non-living agent composed of proteins enveloping strands of DNA or RNA.
What is a virus?

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?

What is ethyl alcohol?
Translation
Translation is the process of translating the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis.
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?
Respiration
Respiration is a chemical reaction which takes place in all livings cells and releases energy from glucose.
