8.L.5.1 & 8.L.5.2
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Aerobic respiration | the process of making cell energy involving oxygen |
Anaerobic respiration | the process of making cell energy without oxygen |
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) | is the molecule that carries energy to the place where the energy is needed in the body. |
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) | the amount of energy required to maintain minimum essential life functions |
C6H12O6 | glucose |
Carbohydrate | an energy |
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight YIELDS (will make) Glucose + Oxygen | Photosynthesis Word Equation |
Glucose + Oxygen YIELDS (will make) Carbon Dioxide + Water | cell respiration word equation |
Cellular Respiration | the chemical reaction in your cells that breaks down simple food molecules releasing energy in the body |
Chlorophyll | a green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria to carry out photosynthesis |
Chloroplasts | organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis |
CO2 | carbon dioxide |
Digestion | the process that breaks down complex molecules of food into smaller molecules so the body can use them. |
During cell respiration, energy is | released in the form of ATP for the body to use |
During fermentation, | cells release energy from food without using oxygen in the cytoplasm |
During photosynthesis, energy is | absorbed by chloroplasts to start photosynthesis |
Fermentation | process by which cells release energy without oxygen |
Fermentation occurs in the... | cytoplasm of a cell |
Glucose | the "food" for your cells; a simple sugar used in the chemical reaction of cell respiration |
H20 | water |
Lipid | the nutrient that is an energy-rich organic compound, (fat, oil, or wax) |
Metabolism | the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. |
Mitochondria | the powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of most ATP (energy) production |
Photosynthesis | the process by which plants and some other organisms capture the energy in sunlight and use it to make food. |
Products of Cell Respiration | carbon dioxide, water, energy (ATP)/heat |
Products of Photosynthesis | glucose and oxygen gas |
Protein | the nutrient required for the structure, function, repair, and regulation of the body's cells, tissues, and organs. |
Reactants of Cell Respiration | glucose and oxygen |
Reactants of Photosynthesis | carbon dioxide & water in the presence of sunlight |
The MAIN organelle where cellular respiration take place | mitochondria |
Product | the materials that are made in a chemical reaction |
Reactants | the starting materials used in the chemical reaction |
