| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| photosynthesis | plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. |
| respiration | a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances. |
| stomata | is a pore, found in the epidermis of leaves, stems, and other organs, that facilitates gas exchange. |
| guard cells | specialized cells in the epidermis of leaves, stems and other organs that are used to control gas exchange. |
| chlorophyll | present in all green plants responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. |
| chloroplast | a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. |
| light dependent reaction | use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis |
| light independent react | dark reactions, of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. |
| energy pyramid | is a graphical representation designed to show the biomass or bio productivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem. how much biomass is present |
| producer | Producers are organisms that make their own food; |
| mitochondrion | an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur |
| autotrophs | an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide. |
| consumers | An organism that generally obtains food by feeding on other organisms or organic matter due to lack of the ability to ..manufacture own food from inorganic sources |
| herbivore | A herbivore is often defined as any organism that eats only plants |
| omnivores | An omnivore is a kind of animal that eats either other animals or plants. |
| heterotrophs | an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances. |
| carnivores | A carnivore, meaning "meat eater", is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements |
| decomposers | Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, |
| spongy layer | layer of loosely packed and irregularly shaped chlorophyll-bearing cells |
| palisade layer | a layer of parallel elongated cells below the epidermis of a leaf. |
| raw materials | Biological materials are natural biocompatible materials that comprise a whole or a part of a living structure or biomedical device that performs, augments, or replaces a natural function. |
| oxygen | Oxygen atoms are present in water (H2O) and water is essential to all life. |
| carbon dioxide | a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis. |
| glucose | what is produced during photosynthesis ,that plant need. |
| products | oxygen and glucose |
