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 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, prepared for division, and divides to form two daughter cells.

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

A threadlike structure within a cell's nucleus that contains DNA 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, distributing the organelles into each of the two new daughter cells.

Question	Answer
photosynthesis
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 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, prepared for division, and divides to form two daughter cells.
interphase	The first stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occur, during which a cell grows grows and makes a copy of its DNA.
replication
chromosome	A threadlike structure within a cell's nucleus that contains DNA that is passed from one generation to the next.
mitosis	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
cytokinesis	The final stage of the cell cycle, in which the cell's cytoplasm divides, distributing the organelles into each of the two new daughter cells.
