Term | Definition |

reactants | what is needed- the left side of the equation |
products | what is made- the right side of the equation |
cellular respiration | all living things must break down carbohydrates to make energy (ATP) |
ATP | ENERGY that is produced during respiration using the energy found in carbohydrates. |
Mitochondria | The organelle where cellular respiration takes place. (the powerhouse of the cell) |
Anaerobic | If oxygen is not present, cells can perform anaerobic respiration. It produces less ATP than aerobic respiration. |
Aerobic | Oxygen is present and cell performs respiration. Makes lots of ATP. |
Photosythesis | Plants use energy from the SUN to turn CO2 and H2O into carbohydrates which are food for plants. |
Chloroplast | Organelle that absorbs sunlight and then uses the light energy, CO2 and H2O to perform photosynthesis. |
