Biology Chapter 4 Vocabulary
Across
- 3. Process during cellular respiration that breaks down a carbon molecule to produce molecules that are used in the electron transport chain
- 4. Membrane-bound structure within chloroplasts that contains chlorophyll and other light-absorbing pigments used in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis
- 7. Part of photosynthesis that absorbs energy from sunlight and transfers energy to the light-independent reactions
- 11. Series of proteins in the thylakoid and mitochondrial membranes that aid in converting ADP to ATP by transferring electrons
- 15. Low energy molecule that can be converted to ATP
- 17. Light-absorbing pigment molecule in photosynthetic organisms
- 18. Process of producing ATP by breaking down carbon-based molecules when oxygen is present
Down
- 1. Process that does not require oxygen to occur
- 2. Process by which ATP is synthesized by using chemicals as an energy source instead of light
- 5. Anaerobic process by which ATP is produced by glycolysis
- 6. Parts of photosynthesis that uses energy absorbed during the light-dependent reactions to synthesize carbohydrates
- 7. Product of fermentation in many types of cells, including human muscle cells
- 8. Anaerobic process in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate and two net ATP are produced
- 9. Process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy; produces sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water
- 10. Enzyme that catalyzes the reaction and adds a high-energy phosphate group to ADP to form ATP
- 12. Process that requires oxygen to occur
- 13. Process by which a photosynthetic organism uses energy to synthesize simple sugars from CO2
- 14. High energy molecule that contains, within its bonds, energy that cells can use
- 16. Series of light-absorbing pigments and proteins that capture and transfer energy in the thylakoid membrane
