Energy 2019

The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.

• PHOTOSYNTHESIS

• CELLULAR RESPIRATION

The breakdown of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in the absence of oxygen can also be called anaerobic respiration.

• FERMENTATION

• CELLULAR RESPIRATION

The process by which cells produce ATP energy from carbohydrates; atmospheric oxygen combines with glucose to form water and carbon dioxide to yield 38 ATP molecules.

• CELLULAR RESPIATION

• FERMENTATION

• PHOTOSYNTHESIS

A process by which glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm of a cell. In this enzyme-assisted anaerobic process, one six-carbon molecule of glucose is broken down into two three-carbon pyruvate ions and nets the production of 2 ATP molecules.

• GLYCOLYSIS

• FERMENTATION

• CELLULAR RESPIRATION

The green chlorophyll pigment absorbs the light and uses it to create ATP and NADPH, both high energy molecules. Water is used in the process and oxygen is created as a waste product.

• LIGHT DEPENDENT

• LIGHT INDEPENDENT

It converts carbon dioxide into glucose using the energy from ATP and NADPH in the stroma of the chloroplast.

• LIGHT DEPENDENT

• LIGHT INDEPENDENT (CALVIN)

The transfer of carbon dioxide to organic compounds (like glucose).

• CALVIN CYCLE

• CO2 FIXATION

An organism that produces its own nutrients from inorganic substances or from the environment instead of consuming other organisms.

• AUTOTROPH

• HETEROTROPH

An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating or consuming other organisms or their by-products. Cannot make its own food.

• AUTOTROPH

• HETEROTROPH

A green pigment that captures sunlight and creates a chemical reaction in chloroplasts that gives plants their characteristic green color.

• CHLOROPHYLL

• STROMA

• THYLAKOID
