Terms Chapter 7

3. The green pigment of plant cells that is necessary for photosynthesis
5. The first phase of cellular respiration, in which glucose is broken down into pyruvate
8. The portion of photosynthesis that uses energy captured during the light dependent phase to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars
9. The material within a chloroplast that surrounds the thylakoids
10. A series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donor substances to electron acceptors
13. AKA the light independent phase
14. The anaerobic breakdown of sugars to pyruvate and then to either lactic acid or carbon dioxide and alcohol
15. The process whereby plants, algae, and some bacteria form simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light and chlorophyll
16. A flattened, membranebound sac inside a chloroplast where the light dependent phase of photosynthesis takes place

1. The process by which cells break down glucose or other nutrients to produce usable energy
2. Any chemical process that requires oxygen
4. The second phase of aerobic cellular respiration in which pyruvate reacts with enzymes to produce acetyl CoA, carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, ATP, and electrons
6. Any chemical process that does not require oxygen
7. The portion of photosynthesis that requires light energy
11. The cellular organelle in which aerobic respiration takes place to produce energy from food
12. The protein contained in mitochondria that converts ADP into ATP
