Review of photosynthesis/respiration/nutrition
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Process of changing light energy into chemical energy | photosynthesis |
| Breakdown of glucose to release energy | cellular respiration |
| source of all of our energy | sun |
| molecule that provides energy needed by organisms to perform life functions | glucose |
| provides fuel for cell processes | food |
| type of energy lost when an organism oxidizes food | thermal (heat) energy |
| another term for food - chemical needed to live and grow | nutrient |
| site of cellular respiration | mitochondria |
| site of photosynthesis | chloroplast |
| ingredients in a chemical reaction | reactants |
| outcome of a chemical reaction | products |
| green pigment in leaves | chlorophyll |
| needed for growth, maintainance and tissue repair - found in meat, cheese, eggs, beans | proteins |
| made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Used for fuel. | carbohydrates |
| used for energy, body insulation, and helps you absorb vitamins and minerals | fats |
| Fats that increase chances of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes | saturated fats |
| Fats that lower cholesterol and the risk for Type 2 diabetes | unsaturated fats |
| water-soluable fats | lipids |
| Boosts the immune system and supports growth and development | vitamins |
| comes from living material | organic |
| low red blood cell count | anemia |
| comes from non-living material | inorganic |
| disease of the bones that leads to increased chance of fracture | osteoporosis |
| part of a healthy diet that helps to deal with digestion | fiber |
| Helps your body grow and develop strong bones | minerals |
| consumption of alcohol by a pregnant woman can lead to this birth defect | Fetal Alcohol Syndrome |
| having an excess amount of body fat | obesity |
| a lifestyle with little or no physical activity | sedentary |
| What happens when you take in more calories than your body needs? | Those calories are stored as fat. |
| disease of the heart and blood vessels | cardiovascular & heart disease |
| a disease that affects the way a body uses glucose | diabetes |
| body produces no insulin that allows glucose to build up in the bloodstream | Type 1 diabetes |
| body makes insulin, but it does not always allow glucose into the cell - pancreas is overworked | Type 2 diabetes |
| Eating disorder in which a person starves themselves | anorexia |
| Binge eating and then purging | bulimia |
| transports nutrients and carries wastes out of the body | water |
| carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen | photosynthesis |
| control center of the cell | nucleus |
| controls what enters and leaves the cell | cell membrane |
| glucose + oxygen = water + carbon dioxide | cellular respiration |
