![]() Photosynthesis process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches carbon sink A natural environment that absorbs and stores more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it releases, which offsets greenhouse gas emissions. Glycolysis Biochemical pathway that breaks down glucose to pyruvlic acid pyruvic acid the three-carbon compound that is produced during glycolysis and needed for both the aerobic and anaerobic pathways of cellular respiration that follow glycolysis Krebs cycle first stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions electron transport uses electrons from the Krebs cycle to change ADP to ATP aerobic respiration Respiration that requires oxygen anaerobic respiration Respiration that does not require oxygen Matrix The area inside the cristae where the Krebs cycle happens Cristae the folds of the inner membrane of the mitochondria that contains the electron transport chain total amount of energy produced in CR 38 ATP aerobic and anaerobic pathways begin with glycolysis, produce pyruvate, differ in ATP production Adhesion attraction between molecules of different substances Cohesion Attraction between molecules of the same substance high specific heat The ability of water to resist changes in temperature.
