| prokaryotes | one-celled organisms that do not have organelles with membranes to separate them (ex. bacteria) |
| eukaryotes | organisms with cells that have organelles with membranes (ex. animals, plants, fungus, protists) |
| cellular respiration | the process of oxygen and food (sugars) combining to release energy |
| energy made during cellular respiration | ATP |
| reactants during cellular respiration | glucose (sugar) and oxygen |
| products during cellular respiration | carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP) |
| photosynthesis | the process of plants making food from carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water, to be used for energy |
| photosynthesis only occurs in... | plants |
| collects the sunlight | green pigment called chlorophyll |
| photosynthesis reactants | carbon dioxide, water, and energy (sunlight) |
| photosynthesis products | glucose and oxygen |
| makes proteins | ribosomes |
| proteins are made out of... | amino acids |
| proteins are used by the body to... | build and repair cells |
| enzymes | proteins used to carry out chemical reactions in the body (ex. digesting food) |
| diffusion | when molecules (such as oxygen or liquids) move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration |
| osmosis | the diffusion of water into and out of the cell |
| membrane | surrounds something |
