Term Definition
Degredation the ability to harness chemical bond energy, ATP
Glycolysis the initial breakdown of glucose
Anaerobic Photosynthesis the ability to use light to pump hydrogen ions out of cells and use the resulting gradient to power ATP production = Chemiosmosis
Nitrogen Fixation taking of N2 gas, breaking its triple bonds, and making amines, NH2
Aerobic Respiration It employs the same H+ pumps as photosynthesis, but instead of getting H+ from H2O or H2S, it gets them from the breakdown of organic molecules
