| 564656761 | golgi body | A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell. | |
| 564656762 | nucleus | a part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible for growth and reproduction | |

| 564656765 | ATP - adenosine triphosphate | main energy source that cells use for most of their work | |
| 564656766 | Krebs Cycle | second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions | |
| 564656767 | electron transport chain | a series of proteins in which the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle are used to convert ADP into ATP | |
