| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| photo- | light |
| -synthesis | to make |
| chloroplast | membrane bound organelle where plants convert sunlight into food |
| ingerdeints for photosynthesis | CO2 , H2O , sunlight |
| products | what you get out of it |
| produts of photosynthesis | sugar (glucose) , oxygen |
| stomata | pores on the underside of a leaf that allow for gas exchange |
| thylakpid | membrane system found within the chloroplasts that contain components for photosynthesis |
| heterotroph | organism that must consume other organisms to gain energy |
| autotroph | organism that makes its own energy by using sunlight |
| chlorphyll | green pigment that captures sunlight for the process of photosynthesis |
| chloroplast | plant organelle that carries out the process of photosynthesis |
| stroma | liquid portion that surrounds the thylakoids in the chloroplast |
| pigment | colored chemical compound that absorbs light. |
| cellular respriation | the process by which cells use oxygen gas to break down carbohydrates, releasing chemical energy that the cell can use |
| C6H12O6 | the chemical formula for glucose |
| fermintation | the process by which cells break down carbohydrates to release energy without using oxygen |
| mitochondria | the cells powerhouse, turning food into energy; the organelle where cellular respiration takes place |
| glucose | the form of sugar that circulates in the blood and provides the major source of energy for body tissues |
| ATP | an energy carrying molecule that provides cells with useable energy without releasing too much heat. $$$$ |
| molecule | made of 2 or more atoms |
| respitation | autotrophs and heterotrophs break down glucose in the presence of oxygen in order to release energy for ATP production |
| CO2 | carbon dioxide |
| producer | an organism that makes its own food through photosynthesis |
