| 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 ) |
