Holland Respiration and Photosynthesis

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

a colorless acid formed as an important intermediate in metabolism or fermentation

a coenzyme present in most living cells and derived from the B vitamin nicotinic acid; serves as a reductant in various metabolic processes

in all plants and animals, a series of enzymatic reactions in mitochondria involving oxidative metabolism of acetyl compounds to produce high-energy phosphate compounds that are the source of cellular energy

a weak water-soluble acid found in many fruits

a polysaccharide that is the chief constituent of all plant tissues and fibers

of a process accompanied by the release of energy

(biochemistry) of a process accompanied by or requiring the absorption of energy; the products of the process are of greater free energy than the reactants

in all plants and animals, a series of enzymatic reactions in mitochondria of involving oxidative metabolism of acetyl compounds to produce high-energy phosphate compounds that are the source of cellular energy

the intoxicating agent in fermented and distilled liquors

the first stage of photosynthesis during which energy from light is used for the production of ATP

in all plants and animals, a series of enzymatic reactions in mitochondria involving oxidative metabolism of acetyl compounds to produce high-energy phosphate compounds that are the source of cellular energy
