Q

NADPH

A

An electron carrier involved in photosynthesis Light drives electrons from Chlorophyll to NAPD , forming a NADPH which provides the high energy electrons for the reduction of carbon dioxide to sugar in the Calvin cycle

Q

Biosynthesis

A

The process by which living organisms produce larger molecules from smaller ones

17
Q

Proteins

A

Composed of amino acids linked together in complex patterns from structural components and enzymes in living things can be an energy source

18
Q

Starch

A

Created by joining many glucose molecules energy storage molecules

19
Q

Cellulose

A

A substance (made of sugars) that is common in the cell walls of many organisms for strength

20
Q

Lipids

A

Includes fats, waxes, oils and steroids. Considered a secondary energy source for humans

21
Q

Photosynthesis

A

Conversion of light energy from the Sun into chemical energy

22
Q

Aerobic Cellular Respiration

A

Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen

23
Q

Anaerobic Cellular Respiration

A

Process in which organisms covert energy for their use in the absence of oxygen

24
Q

Glycolysis

A

First step in releasing the energy of glucose in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid

25
Lactic Acid Fermentation
The conversion of pyruvate to lactate with no release of carbon dioxide
26
Alcoholic Fermentation
A process used by yeast cells and some bacteria to produce carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol
27
Methanogensis
An energy yielding metabolic process that produces methane it’s is unique archea
28
Mitochondria
An organelle found in a large number of cells where the processes of respiration and energy production occurs
29
Covalent bond
A chemical bond that involves a pair of electrons between atoms in a molecule
30
Glucose
A simple a sugar that is the main energy source for most living things It is produced by autotroph and plants
31
Chemosysthesis
Process by which food is made by bacteria and other living things using chemicals as the energy source typically in the absence of sunlight
