Biology Ch. 4 Flashcards
1
Q
ATP
A
High energy molecule that contains, within its bonds, energy that cells can use.
2
Q
ADP
A
Low energy molecule that can be converted into ATP
3
Q
Chemosynthesis
A
Process by which ATP is synthesized by using chemicals as an energy source instead of light.
4
Q
Photosynthesis
A
Process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy; produces sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water
5
Q
Chlorophyll
A
Light absorbing pigment molecule in photosynthetic organisms
6
Q
cellular respiration
A
Process of producing ATP by breaking down carbon based molecules when oxygen is present
7
Q
aerobic
A
Process that requires oxygen to occur.
8
Q
anaerobic
A
process that does not require oxygen to occur
9
Q
fermentation
A
