P & R Test Review
Study these terms to prepare for your test on Photosynthesis and Respiration!
Term | Definition |
---|---|
autotroph | an organism that can make its own food (can obtain its energy directly from the sun) |
heterotroph | an organism that cannot make its own food and must consume other organisms or the food other organisms make (cannot obtain energy directly from the sun) |
chlorophyll | a green colored chemical compound found in the chloroplasts of plant cells that can absorb light |
stomata | small openings on the underside of a leaf that allow carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit |
raw materials/reactants of photosynthesis | carbon dioxide and water |
products of photosynthesis | glucose and oxygen |
sunlight | what is needed for photosynthesis to take place |
three things that happen to glucose produced in photosynthesis | some is used by the plant for food, some is converted into cellulose for the cell wall, some is stored for later use |
photosynthesis | the process by which organisms use light energy from the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose |
cellular respiration | the process by which cells obtain energy from glucose |
raw materials/reactants of cellular respiration | glucose and oxygen |
products of cellular respiration | water, carbon dioxide, and releases energy |
cytoplasm | where stage one of respiration occurs |
mitochondria | where stage two of respiration occurs |
reactants/raw materials | what is needed for a chemical reaction to occur |
products | what is made from a chemical reaction |
energy | what is released in the process of cellular respiration |
