ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)

An organic compound, C10H16N5O13P3, that is composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups. It serves as a source of energy for many metabolic processes.

The green pigment found in the plants and in cells of photosynthetic microorganisms (e.g. photosynthetic bacteria), which is primarily involved in absorbing light energy for photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll-containing plastid found within the cells of plants and other photosynthetic eukaryotes.

a substance obtained from another substance through chemical change

any substance that undergoes a chemical change in a given reaction

small holes in the epidermis of leaves, stems, etc., where gases are exchanged.

the passage of water through a plant from the roots through the vascular system to the atmosphere.

The least amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction.

Any of a class of organic compounds, saccharides or, if they are relatively small, sugars. Are a major source of metabolic energy, both for plants and for animals that depend on plants for food.

Proteins produced in living cells that accelerate or catalyze the metabolic processes of an organism.

Any of a group of organic compounds that are greasy to the touch, insoluble in water, and soluble in alcohol and ether: lipids comprise the fats and other esters with analogous properties and constitute, with proteins and carbohydrates, the chief structur

Any of a group of long, linear macromolecules, either DNA or various types of RNA, that carry genetic information directing all cellular functions: composed of linked nucleotides.

A symbol for the measure of the acidity or alkalinity/base of a solution.

Any of numerous, highly varied organic molecules constituting a large portion of the mass of every life form and necessary in the diet of all animals and other nonphotosynthesizing organisms, composed of 20 or more amino acids linked genetically.

Occurring in the presence of oxygen or requiring oxygen to live. In aerobic respiration, which is the process used by the cells of most organisms, the production of energy from glucose metabolism requires the presence of oxygen.

A chemical process by which plants trap light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates (sugars).

Question	Answer	Help
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)	An organic compound, C10H16N5O13P3, that is composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups. It serves as a source of energy for many metabolic processes.	ATP breaks "D"own to ADP for energy!
Chlorophyll	The green pigment found in the plants and in cells of photosynthetic microorganisms (e.g. photosynthetic bacteria), which is primarily involved in absorbing light energy for photosynthesis.	GREEN-color-o-fill
Chloroplasts	Chlorophyll-containing plastid found within the cells of plants and other photosynthetic eukaryotes.	Plate with GREEN-o-fill
Product	a substance obtained from another substance through chemical change	to produce through change=product
Reactants	any substance that undergoes a chemical change in a given reaction	starting substance=Re-ACT-ants
Stomata	small holes in the epidermis of leaves, stems, etc., where gases are exchanged.	Stomata=Stow-away matter (gas) from plants' holes.
Transpiration	the passage of water through a plant from the roots through the vascular system to the atmosphere.	trans-pass water from plants- to gas- in air =transpire
Activation Energy	The least amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction.	Minimum to Activate
Carbohydrates	Any of a class of organic compounds, saccharides or, if they are relatively small, sugars. Are a major source of metabolic energy, both for plants and for animals that depend on plants for food.	Carbos (sugar) give energy to humans!
Enzymes	Proteins produced in living cells that accelerate or catalyze the metabolic processes of an organism.	EN (prefix)means to intensify.i.e. enzymes-enraged the reaction time(speed up)making the required activation energy lower.
Lipids	Any of a group of organic compounds that are greasy to the touch, insoluble in water, and soluble in alcohol and ether: lipids comprise the fats and other esters with analogous properties and constitute, with proteins and carbohydrates, the chief structur	lipid-SLIPid-GREASY
Nucleic Acids	Any of a group of long, linear macromolecules, either DNA or various types of RNA, that carry genetic information directing all cellular functions: composed of linked nucleotides.	Sends signals to direct life! Made up of nitrogenous base + five-carbon sugar + phosphate group.
pH	A symbol for the measure of the acidity or alkalinity/base of a solution.	Scale 0-14, H2O being neutral=7, Acids=0 , base/alkaline=14.
Proteins	Any of numerous, highly varied organic molecules constituting a large portion of the mass of every life form and necessary in the diet of all animals and other nonphotosynthesizing organisms, composed of 20 or more amino acids linked genetically.	Protein=Amino-meat-mass
Aerobic	Occurring in the presence of oxygen or requiring oxygen to live. In aerobic respiration, which is the process used by the cells of most organisms, the production of energy from glucose metabolism requires the presence of oxygen.	Aero=air=oxygen; in the presence of Aero!
Photosynthesis	A chemical process by which plants trap light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates (sugars).	photo means light-to make food with light.
