Cellular Processes
Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration
| Definition/Answer | Vocabulary/ Science Term |
|---|---|
| Photosynthesis | The process in which an organism makes its own food using sunlight. |
| Cellular Respiration | The process in which an organism breakers down food/sugar/glucose to produce energy. |
| Fermentation | The process in which an organism releases energy from food/sugar/glucose without using oxygen. |
| Aerobic Respiration | A type of cellular respiration. The process of releasing energy from food/sugar/glucose using/requires/needs oxygen. |
| Anaerobic Respiration | A type of cellular respiration and relates to fermentation. The process of releasing energy from food/sugar/glucose without/does not require/ needs no oxygen. |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | A type of fermentation. The releasing energy from food/sugar/glucose without using energy. Takes place in your muscle cells. |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | A type of fermentation. The releasing energy from food/sugar/glucose without using energy. Takes place in yeast and bacteria used to make bread dough rise and make alcohol. |
| Mitochindria | An organelle found in autotrophs and heterotrophs cells. It is called the "powerhouse of a cell". It is involved in the second stage of cellular respiration. |
| Cytoplasm | An organelle found in cells. It is called the "powerhouse of a cell". It is involved in the first stage of cellular respiration. |
| Chloroplast | An organelle found in autotrophs cells. It's the location where photosynthesis takes place. |
| Autotrophs | Organisms that make their own food by photosynthesis. Includes all plants and some bacteria and protists. |
| Heterotrophs | Organisms that can't/can not make their own food. They must eat or consume another organisms. Includes animals, fungi, & some bacteria protists. |
| Chlorophyll | The green pigment found in plants and photosynthetic organisms that captures and traps sunlight. |
| Photosynthesis Equation | Sunlight + H2O + CO2 → C6H12O6 + O2 Sunlight + water + carbon dioxide → glucose + oxygen |
| Cellular Respiration Equation | C6H12O6 + O2 → ATP + H2O + CO2 glucose + oxygen → energy + water + carbon dioxide |
| Lactic Acid Equation | glucose —> lactic acid + carbon dioxide + energy |
| Alcoholic Fementation Equation | glucose —> alcohol + carbon dioxide + energy |
| Reactants | The substances, elements, or compounds found on the left side of an arrow in a chemical equation. |
| Products | The substances, elements, or compounds found on the right side of an arrow in a chemical equation. |
| Organelles | Mini- or tny organs found in the cells of a organism. |
