Adenosine triphosphate: molecule broken to release energy.
What is ATP?
An organism that can make its own food.
What is an autotroph?
Pigment found in plants and bacteria that traps sunlight.
What is chlorophyll?
Adenosine diphosphate; creates bonds to store energy.
What is ADP?
An organism that needs to eat another for energy.
What is a heterotroph?
Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of this molecule.
What is glucose?
Energy from the sun is converted into this type of energy.
What is chemical energy?
Organelle where cellular respiration occurs in animals.
What is the mitochondria?
The process of breaking glucose into ATP or usable energy.
What is cellular respiration?
Energy source for photosynthesis.
What is solar energy?
The output of a reaction or what is created.
What is a product?
The process of converting solar energy into chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
Location in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes where glycolysis occurs.
Where is the cytoplasm?
The input into a reaction that undergoes a change.
What is the reactant?
Organelle where photosynthesis occurs in plants.
What is the chloroplast?
Cellular respiration that does not need oxygen.
What is anaerobic respiration?
All the chemical reactions in an organism in order to provide energy.
What is metabolism?
You need these four things for photosynthesis to occur.
What are: sunlight, CO2, H2O, and chlorophyll?
Process without oxygen that bacteria/yeast use to make energy.
