Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Section 1
the process by which
plants, algae, and some
bacteria use sunlight,
carbon dioxide, and
water to produce
carbohydrates and
oxygen
Photosynthesis
Section 1
Autotroph
a living thing that makes
its own nutrients from
inorganic substances or
from the area around it
instead of getting its
nutrients by eating other
living things
Heterotroph
a living thing that gets
organic food molecules
by eating other organisms
or their byproducts
and that cannot make
organic compounds from
inorganic materials
Section 1
Section 1
the process by which
cells make energy
from carbohydrates;
atmospheric oxygen
combines with glucose
to form water and
carbon dioxide

Section 2
a substance that gives
another substance or a
mixture its color
Pigment
Section 2
a green pigment that is
found in most plant cells,
that gives plants their
green color, and that
reacts with sunlight,
carbon dioxide, and water
to form carbohydrates
Chlorophyll
Section 2
a class of pigments that
are present mostly in
plants and that help in
photosynthesis
Carotenoid
Section 2
a membrane system in
chloroplasts that have
the parts needed for
photosynthesis

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Section 2
a series of molecules, found
in the inner membranes
of mitochondria and
chloroplasts, through
which electrons pass in a
process that causes protons
to build up on one side of
the membrane
Electron
Transport Chain
Section 2
NADPH
a molecule that carries
electrons and provides
the high-energy electrons
needed to make carbonhydogen bonds during
photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide
Fixation
the series of reactions in
which carbon dioxide is
transferred to organic
compounds during
photosynthesis
Section 2
Section 2
a series of reactions
in photosynthesis in
which carbon dioxide
is converted into glucose
with the help of ATP

Section 3
Aerobic
describes a process that
requires oxygen
Anaerobic
describes a process that
does not require oxygen
Glycolysis
the breakdown of
glucose to pyruvic acid,
which makes a small
amount of energy
available to cells in the
form of ATP; glycolysis
does not require oxygen
NADH
a molecule that carries
electrons that are
eventually donated
to other organic
compounds during
the glycolysis stage
of cellular respiration

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Section 3
a series of reactions that
changes pyruvic acid into
carbon dioxide and water;
the Krebs cycle is the major
pathway of oxidation in
animal, bacterial, and plant
cells, and it releases energy
Krebs Cycle
Section 3
FADH2
a molecule that carries
electrons during the
Krebs cycle stage of
cellular respiration;
the electrons are later
passed to the electron
transport chain
Fermentation
the breakdown of
carbohydrates by
enzymes, bacteria,
yeasts, or mold in the
absence of oxygen
