| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Main energy molecule that cells use for most of their work. | ATP -Adenosine Triphosphate |
| First step in cellular respiration process and takes place in the cytoplasm. | Glycolysis |
| Simple sugar that is created during photosynthesis and is an important source of chemical energy. | Glucose |
| The process in cells where a chemical energy source, like glucose, is converted into ATP which cells use for energy. | Cellular Respiration |
| Type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen to covert glucose to a usable ATP energy for cells | Aerobic Respiration |
| Type of cellular respiration that does not require oxygen to covert glucose to a usable ATP energy for cells | Anaerobic Respiration |
| Green pigment in chloroplasts used to absorb light energy to carry out photosynthesis. | Chlorophyll |
| Process by which organisms use light energy, water and carbon-dioxide to create glucose sugar and oxygen. | Photosynthesis |
| An organic compound produced when cells carry out anaerobic respiration to convert glucose sugar to ATP energy. | Lactic Acid |
| An organism that can produce its own food; also known as producers. | Autotroph |
| An organism that must consume other organisms for food, as it cannot produce its own food; also known as consumers. | Heterotroph |
| Any living or once-living component of an ecosystem, including products of living things. | Biotic Factor |
| The non-living components of an ecosystem. | Abiotic Factor |
| Organisms that are able to produce their own food, also known as autotrophs. | Producers |
| Organisms that need to consume other organisms for food, also known as heterotrophs. | Consumers |
| The organelle in cells where most of cellular respiration happens and ATP energy is produced. | Mitochondria |
| The organelle in cells where photosynthesis occurs, and light energy is absorbed and converted to chemical energy/glucose. | Chloroplasts |
