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
