Unit 6.1 & 6.2
Photosynthesis & Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| PHOTOSYNTHESIS | Process that converts sunlight energy into chemical energy ( glucose / sugar). |
| GLUCOSE | Sugar ~ our main energy source |
| AUTOTROPH | " Self Feeder " organism that creates own food & energy. Ex. Producers. |
| HETEROTROPH | "Other Feeder" organism that obtains energy by eating or absorbing nutrients. Ex. Consumers |
| ATP ( ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE) | Energy storing molecule made by the mitochondria to power our cells. |
| HYDROLYSIS | Using water to " slice " bonds ( changes ATP into ADP) |
| PIGMENTS | Natural substance that gives color to animals and plants. |
| CHLOROPHYLL | Primary pigment that plants use of photosynthesis. |
| CAROTENOIDS | Secondary Pigments for photosynthesis. |
| RESPIRATION | Process that converts glucose made in photosynthesis into ATP energy. |
| AEROBIC RESPIRATION | Respiration with oxygen |
| ANEROBIC RESPIRATION | Respiration without oxygen, two types : lactic acid & alcoholic fermentation |
| GLYCOLYSIS | Splitting of glucose molecule in the first step of respiration |
