Week 6 Vocabulary

ATP

• a green pigment found in the chloroplast that absorbs light

• the process of breaking down molecules to release energy (aka aerobic respiration)

• (adenosine triphosphate) a molecule that serves as the chemical energy supply for all cells

• (yeast and some bacteria) a metabolic pathway by which glucose is converted into cellular energy and ethanol (alcohol)

ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION

• (yeast and some bacteria) a metabolic pathway by which glucose is converted into cellular energy and ethanol (alcohol)

• (animal cells) a metabolic pathway by which glucose is converted into cellular energy and lactic acid

• occurs in the presence of oxygen and is used to create ATP (aka cellular respiration)

• (fermentation) the process by which sugars break down in the absence of oxygen
