Chemical energy - the energy contained in the bond or bonds that bind one atom to another in a molecule, Cellular respiration - the process of breaking down glucose for the production of ATP, Photosynthesis - process by which some organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water, Autotrophs - organisms that produce their own organic molecules for energy and nutrition using energy from light or from inorganic chemical sources, Heterotrophs - organisms that obtain organic food molecules for energy and nutrition by eating other organisms or by eating and absorbing by-products of other organisms (adj.: heterotrophic), Stroma - the nonmembranous portion of a chloroplast, Chloroplasts - The organelle where photosynthesis takes place, Chlorophyll - The green pigment that absorbs the sunlight needed for photosynthesis, Glucose - Sugar, ATP - It is a universal form of energy that is useful for many different chemical reactions needed inside the cell., H2O - Water, CO2 - Carbon Dioxide, O2 - Oxygen, Metabolism - the total of all chemical reactions within an organism, Anaerobic - without oxygen; when applied to organisms, or cells or tissues, it means they get and use the energy from organic molecules without using oxygen, aerobic - in the presence of oxygen, Fermentation - the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen,
