Organelles
Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 12H2O chlorphyll - C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
Enzyme
A molecule which serves to make reactions work
Photosynthesis
A process in green plants which involves the use of the sun's energy
Organelle
A small structure within the cell which serves specialized functions
Cells in a person's body obtain glucose from the digestion of
Carbohydrates
Glycogen
Chain molecule made of many glucose molecules linked together
Plastids
Contain starch and oil or plant pigments
Adenosine Diphosphate
Converted into ATP during glucose breakdown
Lysosomes
Digest foods
Fermentation
Involves the production of ethyl alcohol from glucose
Glucose
Is stored in vacuoles within the cell
Adenosine Triphosphate
It serves as an energy source for the cell; has greater energy potential
Lysosome
Packets within the cell cytoplasm that contain digestive enzymes
Mitochondria
Structure within the cell responsible for the production of energy; adds a phosphate to ADP and changes ADP to ATP
Krebs Cycle
Takes place within the mitochondria; the complete cycle which is needed to produce ATP; releases energy for making ATP;
Pyruvic Acid
The end product of glycolysis in the breakdown of glucose
Glycolysis
The first step in the chemical breakdown of glucose
Lactic Acid
The substance produced by body cells when there is not enough oxygen
Plastid
Tiny sacs in the cell which may contain starch
When oxygen is lacking, animal cells change
pyruvic acid lactic acid
Vacuoles
store glucose as glycogen
