  1. 6. respiration- Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions.
  2. 10. 2- Photosystem II (or water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase) is the first protein complex in the light-dependent reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis.
  3. 11. 1- Photosystem I is an integral membrane protein complex that uses light energy to catalyze the transfer of electrons across the thylakoid membrane from plastocyanin to ferredoxin. Ultimately, the electrons that are transferred by Photosystem I are used to produce the high energy carrier NADPH.
  4. 12. biology, the basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed.
  5. 13. is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is the powerhouse of the cell; it is responsible for cellular respiration and production of (most) ATP in the cell. Each cell can have from one to thousands of mitochondria.
  6. 14. Biotics describe living or once living components of a community; for example organisms, such as animals and plants.

  1. 1. movement of a solvent (such as water) through a semipermeable membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on the two sides of the membrane.
  2. 2. is the process in which one glucose molecule is broken down to form two molecules of pyruvic acid (also called pyruvate). The glycolysis process is a multi-step metabolic pathway that occurs in the cytoplasm of animal cells, plant cells, and the cells of microorganisms.
  3. 3. cycle- a sequence of reactions in the living organism in which oxidation of acetic acid or acetyl equivalent provides energy for storage in phosphate bonds (as in ATP) — called also citric acid cycle, tricarboxylic acid cycle.
  4. 4. contains the cell's genes and controls the cell's growth and reproduction.
  5. 5. transport chain- The electron transport chain is a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria to form a gradient of protons that drives the creation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
  6. 7. Abiotic factors, also called abiotic components are non-living factors that impact an ecosystem.
  7. 8. Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.
  8. 9. smallest unit into which matter can be divided without the release of electrically charged particles. It also is the smallest unit of matter that has the characteristic properties of a chemical element.
  9. 15. cycle- The Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions, biosynthetic phase, dark reactions, or photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle of photosynthesis are the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.
