| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| photosynthesis | the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into food energy (sugar), oxygen and water |
| cellular respiration | the process by which the chemical energy of "food" moleclues is released and changed into ATP (energy) |
| chloroplast | an elongated cell organelle containing chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place |
| chlorophyll | a green moleclue which uses light energy from sunlight to change water and carbon dioxide gas into sugar and oxygen |
| glucose | a simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates(sugar) |
| mitochondria | rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane which converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP (energy) for the cell |
| photosynthesis equation | 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| respiration equation | O2 + C6H12O6 → H20 + CO2 +ATP |
| carbon dioxide | a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. |
| diffusion | a physical process of atoms or molecules moving apart within a gas or liquid |
| osomosis | process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one |
| active transport | the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration |
