Biology Terms: Photosynthesis, Heterotrophy, Metabolism, Quizzes of Biology

Definitions for key terms related to photosynthesis, heterotrophy, metabolism, anabolism, and catabolism. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and certain bacteria capture light energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy. Heterotrophy is the use of captured chemical energy to build other chemicals. Metabolism is the balance between catabolism and anabolism, with central biochemical pathways including the tca cycle, glycolysis, and pentose phosphate shunt. Anabolism is the process of using energy to build more complex cell components, while catabolism is the breaking down of larger molecules into smaller ones for energy.
