Module Cell Energy
NCVSP homoeostasis, cell transport, photosynthesis and cell respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ATP | Adenosine triphosphate, molecule of cellular energy |
| diffusion | Movement of small particles from high to low concentration |
| homeostasis | Maintaining a stable internal environment (balance) |
| osmosis | Movement of water from high to low concentration |
| active transport | Movement of particles WITH the use of energy |
| passive transport | Movement of particles WITHOUT the use of energy |
| cell membrane | Layer around the outside of the cell that controls what enters and leaves |
| selectively permeable | The cell membrane only allows certain things to enter and leave the cell |
| carbon dioxide | A gaseous reactant of photosynthesis (CO2) and product of photosynthesis |
| stomata | Openings in the leaf where gasses come in and out |
| chloroplast | Organelle that plants use to make their own food |
| glucose | Sugar that plants produce during photosynthesis (C6H12O6) AND plant and animals use in cell respiration to make energy |
| oxygen | A gaseous product of photosynthesis (O2) and reactant of cellular respiration |
| water | A liquid reactant of photosynthesis (H2O), product of cellular respiration |
| photosynthesis | The process that plants use to produce their own food (glucose) |
| photosynthesis equation | carbon dioxide and water MAKE glucose, oxygen |
| aerobic | The process of making ATP energy WITH oxygen |
| anaerobic | The process of making ATP energy WITHOUT oxygen |
| cell respiration | The process that ALL organisms use to make energy by breaking down glucose |
| fermentation | Process that breaks down sugars to make energy WITHOUT using oxygen (2 types: aerobic and anaerobic) |
| mitochondria | Organelle responsible for making energy (also known as ATP) |
| cell respiration equation | glucose and oxygen MAKE carbon dioxide, water and energy (ATP) |
