| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| photosynthesis | the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. |
| cellular respiration | is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. |
| chloroplast | (in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. |
| chlorophyll | Chlorophyll is any of several closely related green pigments found in cyanobacteria and the chloroplasts of algae and plants. |
| glucose | Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆. Glucose circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar. |
| mitochondria | rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). |
| photosynthesis equation | 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2. |
| respiration equation | 602 + C6H1206 -->6H2O +6CO2 |
| diffusion | occurs when small molecules pass through the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane. |
| osmosis | a 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, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy. |
