Chemical energy
stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, allowing energy to be transported
ATP
Adenosine diphosphate; stores and releases energy
ADP
Adenosine Triphosphate; when the bond between 2 and 3 phosphate groups is broken, energy is released, creating this
Chloroplast
Pigment in chlorophyll where photosynthesis occurs
Thylakoid
Sac-like stacks in the chloroplast
Stroma
Space surrounding the sac
Cellular respiration
All organisms break down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP
Photosynthesis
When plants create food for themselves
Aerobic Respiration
Oxygen IS avalible
36 ATP
Anaerobic Respiration
Oxygen IS NOT avalible
4 ATP
Energy
The ability to do work
Chlorophyll
Catches light energy
First step of photosynthesis
Plant takes in the light
Electron transport chain
When electrons are passed along to different molecules
Glycolysis
First step to cellular respiration
Dark reaction
Converts glucose into water and carbon dioxide
Glucose
Begins the process of respiration
Light and dark reactions
Two parts of photosynthesis
ATP and NADPH
Molecules that are produced in the light reactions and travel to the dark reactions
Photolysis
Splits water molecules into light
H2O and light energy
Inputs and outputs of photosynthesis
