| 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 |
