words only definitions & notes
  1. chemosynthesis
    synthesis of carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water
    The process is called chemosynthesis.
  2. cellular respiration
    the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules; processes that take place in the cells and tissues during which energy is released and carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by the blood to be transported to the lungs
    The chemical equation describing this reaction, cellular respiration, could be written this way:


    6O2 + C6H12O6 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy

    This means that in each individual reaction, the mitochondrion needs 6 oxygen molecules and a glucose molecule.
  3. covalent
    of or relating to or characterized by covalence
    This energy is stored by building a special molecule called ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, in which the covalent bonds between atoms (in particular, between the phosphate components of the molecule) store a lot of energy.
  4. adenosine triphosphate
    a nucleotide derived from adenosine that occurs in muscle tissue; the major source of energy for cellular reactions
    This energy is stored by building a special molecule called ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, in which the covalent bonds between atoms (in particular, between the phosphate components of the molecule) store a lot of energy.
