Living Environment
Photosynthesis & Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| photosynthesis | the process by which plants use energy from sunlight to produce sugar |
| stomata | structures found in the leaf that allow gas to enter and leave the plant |
| Carbon Dioxide | 1 Carbon + 2 Oxygen atoms make this molecule |
| Aerobic | respiration that DOES require oxygen |
| Anaerobic | respiration that DOES NOT require oxygen |
| Glycolysis | the process of breaking down glucose |
| Light Dependent | reaction which is a part of photosynthesis that REQUIRES sunlight |
| Light Independent | reaction which is a part of photosynthesis that DOES NOT require sunlight |
| Oxygen | gas released as a product of photosynthesis |
| Glucose | 6 Carbon + 12 Hydrogen + 6 Oxygen atoms make this molecule |
| Mitochondria | organelle where cellular respiration takes place |
| Gas Exchange | obtaining oxygen from the environment and releasing carbon dioxide |
| Enzymes | special proteins that control chemical reactions |
| ATP | a direct source of energy used in cellular processes |
| Fermentation | turning sugars (glucose) into alcohol |
| Krebs Cycle | a form of aerobic respiration that ends with 36 ATP molecules from 1 pyruvic acid molecule |
| Thylakoid | pancake shaped stacks in a plant where the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis occurs |
