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

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

A 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, algas and some bacteria.

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

The process in 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 copy of its DNA.

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

A threadlike structure within a cell's nucleus that contains DNA that is passed from 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 cycle in which the cell's cytoplasm divides distributing the organelles into each of the two new daughter sells.
