Ecosystems 1.1 and 2
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Cellular Respiration, | The process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a complex series of chemical reactions inside cells, releasing energy. |
| Fermentation, | The process by which cells release energy by breaking down food molecules without using oxygen |
| Cellular Respiration Chemical Equation, | C6H12O2 + 6O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H20 + Energy |
| Photosynthetic Equation, | Light energy + 6H20 + 6CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| Location of Photosynthesis, | in the chloroplasts of cells |
| Reactants (raw materials) of Photosynthesis, | carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight |
| Products of Photosynthesis, | glucose and oxygen |
| Chlorophyll, | A green photosynthetic pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria. |
| Autotroph, | An organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food. |
| Heterotroph, | An organisms that cannot make its own food and gets food by consuming other living things. |
| Photosynthesis | ,process by which plants and some other autotrophs capture and use light energy to make food from carbon dioxide and water. |
