Question | Answer |
---|---|
producers | organisms who make their own source of energy |
consumers | Organisms who cannot make their own source of energy |
examples of producers | plants and algae |
examples of consumers | humans, animals, fungi and bacteria |
cellular respiration. | the breakdown of an energy source to obtain usable energy for a cell |
ATP | usable form of energy for a cell |
Photosynthesis | the process by which most producer organisms make food |
Pigments | colored substances that absorb light energy |
Chlorophyll | a green pigment used in photosynthesis |
Chloroplasts | the structure in a cell where photosynthesis occurs |
Aerobic cellular respiration | Requires oxygen and occurs in the mitochondria |
Anerobic cellular respiration | Does not require oxygen and occurs in the cytoplasm |
Aerobic cellular respiration | Sugar and oxygen are used to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy |
Anerobic cellular respiration | Sugar is convered into either alcohol fementation or lactic acid fermentatio |
colonial | living thing that is composed of a group of similar cells living together, each cell being capable of living individually. |
tissue | A group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. |
organ | A group of tissues that work together to perform a specific function. |
organ system | A group of organs that work together to perform a life function. |
equation for aerobic cellular respiration | Sugar + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy |
alcoholic fermentation | type of anaerobic cellular respiration produces alcohol, carbon dioxide, and energy (ex. yeast bread) |
Equation for photosynthesis | carbon dioxide + water + light energy -> sugar + oxygen |
lactic acid fermentation | type of anaerobic cellular respiration produces lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and energy (ex. yogurt, muscle cells, sauerkraut ) |
