What is Autotroph?
A living thing that is able to feed its self by using natural material like sun and water
What is Heterotrophs?
an organism that is not able to produce its own food with natural resources like suna dn water
what is NAD+?
acctpets and carries the energy to the electron chain
What is NADH?
Generates energy
What is NADPH?
part of nucleic acids and lipid process
What are Light Reactions?
Light Reactions turn light in chemical energy
what is fermantion?
its the process of molecules are broken down
what is granum?
a part of the thylakoids thats like the membrane of the inside of plant cells.
what is anaerobic?
it means that the type of cellular respiration doent use oxygen.

what is the mitochondrial matrix?
space inside that surrounds the mitochondrial inner membrane
what is the aerobic respiration?
a process of where the cellular respiration of which the oxygen gas is produced energy from food
what is Glycolysis?
generates energy in form of the ATP
what is the electron transport cycle?
leads the creation of ATP
what are carotenoids?
a yellow, orange, or red pigment on a substance
what is carbon fixation?
plants turn the carbon in the air into organic molecules for resperation
what is stomata?
holes in the plants tissue to let the gas go through
what are thyakiods?
a like sacs that are next to membrane in between the chloroplasts of a plant cell
