SOL 7.5
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| photosynthesis | Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other things make food. |
| 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 | Each of a pair of curved cells that surround a stoma becoming larger or smaller according to the pressure within the cells. |
| Guard Cells | Each of a pair of curved cells that surround a stoma becoming larger or smaller according to the pressure within the cells. |
| Chlorophyll | A green pigment present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. |
| Chloroplast | (in green plants) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place. |
| Light dependent reaction | The series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that require light energy that is capture by light-absorbing pigments (such as chlorophyll) to be converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. |
| Light independent react | The light independent reaction , or dark reactions of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. |
| Energy pyramid | An energy pyramid is a graphical model of energy flow in a community. |
| Producer | Producer is an organism either a green plant or bacterium, which is the first level of a food chain. |
| Mitochondrion | Mitochondrion are organelles or parts of a eukaryote. |
| Autotraphs | An organism capable of sythesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy. |
| Consumers | an organism that generally obtains food by feeding on other organism or organic matter due to lack of the ability to manufacture own food from inorganic sources; a heterotroph. |
| Herbivore | A herbivore is often defined as any organism that eats only plants. |
| Omnivores | an omnivores is a kind of animal that eats either other animals or plants. |
| Heterotrophs | an organism that cannot manufacture its own food and instead obtains its food and energy by taking in organic substances. |
| Carnivores | an animal or plant that requires a staple diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue through predation or scavenging . |
| Decomposers | Decomposers are organisms and in doing so they carry out the natural process of decomposition. |
| Spongy layer | a layer of loosely packed and irregularly shaped chlorophyll-bearing cells that fills the part of a leaf between the palisade layer and the lower epidermis. |
| palisade layer | Palisada cells are plant cells located in leaves, right below the epidermis and cuticle. |
| raw material | raw material are materials or substances used in the primary production or manufacturing of goods. |
| oxygen | a colorless. odorless reactive gas, the chemical element of atomic number 8 and the life-supporting component of the air. |
| carbon dioxide | a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. |
| glucose | Glucose is the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells. |
| products | a cellular product is something manufactured by an organelle |
