Unit 4 Vocab

3. Type of fermentation that makes alcohol and CO2, as seen n yeast and some bacteria.
4. A stack of thylakoid membranes in a chloroplast.
5. Process where cells break down food (carbon compounds) to make energy or ATP.
8. Part of photosynthesis where CO2 is turned into glucose using ATP energy.
11. Process of converting CO2 into organic compounds, like in photosynthesis.
15. First part of photosynthesis where light energy becomes chemical energy.This occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloplats.
17. A molecule that absorbs light, giving colors to plants.
19. An organism that gets energy by consuming other organisms for its energy and nutrition.
22. A sac inside chloroplasts where light reactions occur.
24. An anaerobic process that follows glycolysis, making lactic acid or alcohol.
25. Respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy.
26. Process where Carbon is taken from the air by green plants, algae, and some bacteria.It makes glucose from sunlight,water, and carbon.
27. Green pigment found in chloroplasts.

1. Type of fermentation that makes lacid acid, common in muscles.
2. Series of reactions in mitochondria that produce energy and CO2 during aerobic respiration.
6. Molecule in chloroplasts that accepts high-energy electrons.
7. A 3-carbon molecule formed during glycolysis, important in cellular respiration.
9. Series of molecules found in the mitochondria and chloroplasts that move electrons to make energy.
10. Processes that happen without oxygen.
12. Organelle in plant cells and some algae where photosynthesis takes place.
13. Group of pigments and proteins in chloroplast that capture light energy.
14. Fluid in chloroplasts around the grana (thylakoid stacks), where the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions) happens.
16. Tiny openings on leaves that let CO2 and O2 out.
18. Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose broken down int pyruvic acid and ATP.
20. An organism that makes its own food, like plants, through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis
21. Re, orange, or yellow pigments that help in photosynthesis.
23. CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism). An adaption some plants use to store CO2 at night for daytime photosynthesis.
