An organism that makes its own food using energy from the sun or chemicals. Plants are autotrophs.

The green pigment in plant cells that captures light energy from the sun. It gives plants their green color.

The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis happens. It contains chlorophyll and is where plants make their own food.

The jelly-like substance inside a cell that fills the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus. Organelles float in it.

An organism that cannot make its own food and must eat other organisms to survive. Animals are heterotrophs.

The organelle in cells that breaks down food to release energy. It is the "powerhouse" of the cell.

The process plants use to make their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. It happens in the chloroplasts.

The substances made at the end of a chemical reaction. In photosynthesis, the products are glucose and oxygen.

Raw Materials/Reactants

The substances you start with at the beginning of a chemical reaction. In photosynthesis, the raw materials are sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.

The process cells use to break down glucose and release energy. It happens in the mitochondria and provides energy for the cell to use.

Tiny pores on the underside of plant leaves that open and close. They allow carbon dioxide to enter the plant and oxygen to exit.
