What is energy?
100
A bacterium converts light energy into chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
100
These processes require the presence of oxygen
What is aerobic?
200
This molecule is biologically important because it provides chemical energy
What is ATP?
200
A cell uses oxygen to break down molecules, generating energy.
What is cellular respiration?
200
These processes do not require oxygen.
What is anaerobic?
300
An Oak Tree is an example of this kind of organism that converts solar energy from the sun into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
What is an autotroph?
300
Breaking down pyruvate occurs during this.
What is the Krebs Cycle?
300
Also known as the law of energy conservation-- states that energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the first law of thermodynamics.
400
A squirrel is an example of these kinds of organisms that must ingest food to obtain the energy they need.
What is a heterotroph?
400
One molecule of glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules.
What is glycolysis?
400
This states that systems spontaneously change from orderly to disorderly states.
What is the second law of thermodynamics?
500
These are organelles that that contain light capturing pigments used for photosynthesis. If they are damaged the cells ability to perform photosynthesis would be affected.
What are chloroplasts?
