Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration: Loghan Young

3. molecule that transfers energy from the breakdown of food molecules to cell processes
7. a process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy
8. are stacks of coin-shaped, membrane-enclosed compartments
13. organelle composed of numerous membranes that are used to convert solar energy into chemical energy
14. process that requires oxygen to occur
15. Cycle process by which a photosynthetic organism uses energy to synthesize simple sugars from CO2

1. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur
2. anaerobic process by which ATP is produced by glycolysis
4. cycle the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration.
5. a molecule that absorbs some of the energy in visible light
6. a process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of light energy to make energy-storing carbon-based molecules.
9. Acid a colorless syrupy organic acid formed in sour milk and produced in the muscle tissues during strenuous exercise
10. relating to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen
11. Respiration process of producing ATP by breaking down carbon-based molecules when oxygen is present
12. anaerobic process in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate and two net ATP are produced
14. a lower-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group
