Question | Answer |
---|---|
chloroplast | site of photosynthesis. Captures light energy and uses it to make sugar. (glucose) |
Stomata | tiny pores on the underside of a leaf where water and CO2 are exchanged between the plant and the atmosphere. |
glucose | sugar made by plants during photosynthesis |
chlorophyll | pigment that captures energy from the sun. located in the chloroplast. |
starch | stored sugar in plants |
glycogen | stored sugar in animals |
sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide | reactants of photosynthesis |
glucose and oxygen | products of photosynthesis |
glucose and oxygen | reactants of cellular respiration |
water, carbon dioxide, and ATP | products of cellular respiration |
ATP | energy |
anaerobic | process that does not need oxygen |
aerobic | process that needs oxygen |
chemosynthesis | process that uses energy from inorganic substances to make food/sugar |
photosynthesis | process that uses energy from the sun to make food/sugar |
cellular respiration | process that breaks down sugars to make energy for cells |
mitochondria (process) | site of cellular respiration |
mitochondria (function) | organelle that breaks down sugars to make energy |
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ==> 6 H2O + 6 CO2 (+ATP) | chemical equation for cellular respiration |
6 H2O + 6 CO2 (+sunlight) ==> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 | chemical equation for photosynthesis |
vascular tissue | used in plants to circulate water, sugar, and other nutrients to all cells of the plant |
xylem | tissue in plants that transports water |
phloem | tissue in plants that transports sugar |
producer | organism that makes its own food |
consumer | organism that must eat other organisms for food |
autotroph | another name for producer: makes own food |
heterotroph | another name for consumer; must eat food |
fermentation | anaerobic process used by bacteria and yeast to release energy from sugars |
reactant | What you START a chemical reaction with - left side of the arrow CO2 + H2O >>> C6H12O6 + O2 |
Product | What you END a chemical reaction with- right side of arrow C6H12O6 + O2 >>> CO2 + H2O |
