Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review Vocabulary

TermDefinition
Photosynthesis A process in which light energy, water, and carbon dioxide are used to create glucose for energy. Converts light energy to chemical energy.
Cellular Respiration A process that breaks down glucose into energy (ATP). This provides useable energy to cells in all eukaryotic organisms.
Stomata Tiny pores, or openings, in leaves of plants that allow gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen to enter and exit the plant.
Carbon Dioxide A gas molecule absorbed by photosynthesis and released by cellular respiration
Oxygen A gas molecule released by photosynthesis and required for cellular respiration
Glucose Also known as C6H12O6, this large sugar molecule is produced during photosynthesis and contains potential energy
Water A reactant in photosynthesis absorbed by plants through their roots
Autotroph "Self Feeding" -- Organisms that are able to create their own food, often using photosynthesis
Heterotroph "Other Feeders" -- Organisms that are unable to create their own food and must consume other organisms for energy
Mitochondria A cellular organelle; the site of cellular respiration
Chloroplast A cellular organelle; the site of photosynthesis
Light Reactions The "photo" part of photosynthesis -- the portion of photosynthesis that absorbs sunlight in the thylakoid membranes
Dark Reactions The "synthesis" part of photosynthesis -- this step does not require light and instead builds the glucose molecule
Aerobic Respiration Typical cellular respiration is known as ________ _________ , because it requires oxygen.
Anaerobic Respiration This type of respiration occurs when no oxygen is present. This may occur in our muscle cells during periods of extreme exercise, or in yeast found in bread dough causing the bread to rise.
Cellulose A complex sugar that gives plants strength and can not be digested by humans
Starch A large carbohydrate that stores energy in plants. Found in potatoes, corn, and rice.
Chlorophyll A green pigment found within the chloroplasts of a plant. Involved in photosynthesis.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
