8347352789PhotosynthesisMaking food for a plant, takes place in chloroplast0
8347352790Photosynthesis Formula(in the presence of sunlight) water + carbon dioxide ----> oxygen + glucose1
8347352791GlucoseSugar (food) made during photosynthesis2
8347352796Cellular RespirationBreaking down glucose (food) in the presence of oxygen to make ATP3
8347352797Cellular Respiration LocationCytoplasm/Mitochondria4
8347352798Cellular Respiration FormulaOxygen + Glucose -----> Carbon dioxide + Water and producing ATP5
8347352799Process uses waterPhotosynthesis6
8347352800Process gives off waterCellular respiration7
8347352805Location of PhotosynthesisChloroplast stroma and thylakoid8
8347352810Glycolysis, Kreb Cycle, and Electron Transport ChainThe 3 steps of Cell Respiration9
8347352811Light Dependent Reaction and Calvin CycleThe 2 Steps of Photosynthesis10
8347352812endergonicA chemical reaction that requires the input of energy in order to proceed.11
8347352813exergonicEnergy stored in the chemical bonds released12
8347352814metabolismAll of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism13
8347352815activation energyEnergy needed to get a reaction started14
8347352816ATP(adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work15
8347352817cellular respirationProcess that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen16
8347352818mitochondrial matrixThe compartment of the mitochondrion enclosed by the inner membrane and containing enzymes and substrates for the citric acid cycle.17
8347352819cristaeInfoldings of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion that houses the electon transport chain and the enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of ATP.18
8347352820glycolysisA metabolic process that breaks down carbohydrates and sugars through a series of reactions to either pyruvic acid or lactic acid and release energy for the body in the form of ATP19
8347352821link reactionCO2 is removed from pyruvate and NADH is produced to make Acetyl-CoA20
8347352822pyruvateOrganic compound with a backbone of three carbon atoms. Two molecules form as end products of glycolysis21
8347352823Krebs cyclesecond stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions22
8347352824electron transport chainA sequence of electron carrier molecules (membrane proteins) that shuttle electrons during the redox reactions that move protons (H+) across the membrane.23
8347352825ATP synthaseLarge protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP24
8347352826FADH2Electron carrier produced during the Krebs cycle.25
8347352827NADHAn energy-carrying coenzyme produced by glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. NADH carries energy to the electron transport chain.26
8347352828photosynthesisConversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy.27
8347352829stomataSmall openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move28
8347352830guard cellPairs of cells that surround stomata and control their opening and closing.29
8347352831xylemThe vascular tissue through which water and nutrients move in plants30
8347352832phloemThe vascular tissue through which sugars move in plants31
8347352833chloroplast(in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.32
8347352834chlorophyllGreen pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis33
8347352835Calvin cyclereactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars34
