Cell Energy Vocab (1)

4. ATP’s energy is available to do work for the cell when it breaks apart into ADP and phosphate
6. (adenosine triphosphate) energy-carrying molecule that cells use to power their metabolic processes
8. Organism that consumes other organisms for food
10. is an enzyme that directly generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during the process of cellular respiration
13. green pigment in a chloroplast that absorbs sunlight in the light reactions of photosynthesis
14. Organism that gets food by consuming other organisms
15. simple carbohydrate with the chemical formula C6H12O6 that is the nearly universal food for life
16. Process of splitting by light where water molecules are broken into Hydrogen ions, electrons, and Oxygen atoms which in turn forms oxygen gas, a waste product of photosynthesis, and supplies most of the oxygen in our atmosphere

1. series of electron-transport molecules that pass high-energy electrons from molecule to molecule and capture their energy
2. Process in which cells break down glucose and make ATP for energy
3. carbon dioxide, water, and light energy
5. organisms that makes its own food
7. glucose and oxygen gas
9. process of using the energy in sunlight to make food (glucose)
11. Organism that produces food for itself and other organisms
12. first stage of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is captured and changed into chemical energy that is stored in ATP and NADPH
