Term / Concept: Definition:
ENERGY
REQUIRED TO BREAK DOWN AND BUILD UP MOLECULES AND TO
TRANSPORT MOLECULES ACROSS PLASMA MEMBRANES.
CONSISTS OF ORGANIC MOLECULES THAT STORE ENERGY IN THEIR
FOOD CHEMICAL BONDS.
AUTOTROPHS ALSO CALLED PRODUCERS; ORGANISMS THAT MAKE THEIR FOOD.
HETEROTROPHS ALSO CALLED CONSUMERS; ARE LIVING THINGS THAT CANNOT MAKE THEIR FOOD;
THEY GET THEIR FOOD BY CONSUMING OTHER ORGANISMS.
GLUCOSE a simple carbohydrate with the chemical formula C6H12O6; it
stores chemical energy in a concentrated, stable form.
ATP THE ENERGY-CARRYING MOLECULE THAT CELLS USE FOR ENERGY.
CELLULAR the process in which glucose is broken down and ATP is
RESPIRATION made.
plants and other autotrophs have the capacity of harvesting light energy making
PHOTOSYNTHESIS use of inorganic raw materials and convert it to chemical energy.
LIGHT-DEPENDENT energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and that
REACTION energy is converted into stored chemical energy.
LIGHT-DEPENDENT the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions
REACTION drives the assembly of sugar molecules from carbon dioxide.
LIGHT a form of electromagnetic radiation, a type of energy that
travels in waves.
the model of light as waves explains many of light's properties, but in certain
PHOTONS respects light behaves as though it consists of discrete particles, called ___.
when light meets matter, it may be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed.
PIGMENTS Substances that absorb visible light are known as ___.
CHLOROPHYLL the color of the leaf is from ___.
PHOTOSYSTEM photosynthetic pigment occur in the granum and constitute
the pigment system.
