The process by which plants and other autotrophs capture and use light energy to make food from carbon dioxide.

An organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food

An organism that cannot make its own food and gets food by consuming other living things.

A green photosynthetic pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants algae and some bacteria.

The process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a series of complex series of chemical reactions inside cells, releasing energy.

The process by which cells release energy by breaking down food molecules without using oxygen.

The series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells.

The first stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs, during which a cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA

The process by which a cell makes a copy of its DNA in its nucleus before cell division.

A threadlike structure within a cell's nucleus that is passed from one generation to the next.

The second stage of the cell cycle during which the cell's nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one set of DNA is distributed into each daughter cell.

The final stage of the cell cycle in which the cell's cytoplasm divides, distributung the organelles into each of the two new daughter cells.

autotroph	An organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food
heterotroph	An organism that cannot make its own food and gets food by consuming other living things.
chlorophyll	A green photosynthetic pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants algae and some bacteria.
cellular respiration	The process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a series of complex series of chemical reactions inside cells, releasing energy.
fermentation	The process by which cells release energy by breaking down food molecules without using oxygen.
cell cycle	The series of events in which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells.
interphase	The first stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs, during which a cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA
replication	The process by which a cell makes a copy of its DNA in its nucleus before cell division.
