Unit 4 Vocabulary

3. Process where cells break down food to make energy or ATP
4. Reactions First part of photosynthesis, light becomes chemical energy, occurs in the thylakoid
5. An adaptation some plants use to store CO2 at night for daytime photosynthesis
9. Series of reactions in mitochondria that produce energy and CO2 during aerobic respiration
10. Tiny openings on leaves that let CO2 in and O2 out
11. Molecule in chloroplasts that accepts high-energy electrons
12. An organism that makes its own food, like plants, through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis
15. Respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy
16. Red, Orange, or yellow pigments that help in photosynthesis
17. A stack of thylakoid membranes
20. Green pigment found in chloroplasts
21. Processes that happen without oxygen
22. series of molecules found in the mitochondria and chloroplasts that move electrons to make energy
24. Process of converting CO2 into organic compounds
25. Group of pigments and proteins in chloroplasts that capture light energy
26. Organelle in plant cells and some algae where photosynthesis takes place

1. a 3-carbon molecule formes during glycosis, important in CR
2. Type of fermentation that makes alcohol and CO2
6. first stage of CR in which glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid and ATP
7. an organism that gets energy by consuming other organism for its energy and nutrition
8. Fluid in chloroplasts around the grana, calvin cycle happens
13. Process where Carbon is taken from the air by green plants, algae, and some bacteria, it makes glucose from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide
14. A molecule that absorbs light, gives color
16. Part of photosynthesis where CO2 is turned into glucose using ATP
18. A sac inside chloroplasts where light reactions occur
19. Type of fermentation that makes lactic acid
23. An anaerobic process that follows glycosis
