Oxygen | Released from a plant as a product after photosynthesis; used as a reactant in cellular respiration |
Water | Absorbed through the roots of a plant to be used as a reactant during photosynthesis; given off as a product of respiration |
Glucose | Sugar/food that is made during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration |
Autotroph | Organism that makes its own food |
Heterotroph | Organism that must consume other organisms to get energy |
Reactant | raw materials used in a chemical reaction (think: ingredients) |
Product | End result of a chemical reaction, what is made at the end |
