| Question |
Answer |
| photosynthesis |
A process in which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into food energy (sugar) |
| cellular respiration |
The process by which the chemical energy of "food" molecules is released and changes into ATP |
| chloroplasts |
An elongated cell organelle containing chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place. |
| chlorophyll |
A green molecule which uses light energy from sunlight to change water and carbon dioxide gas into sugar and oxygen |
| glucose |
The food for the plant (sugar) |
| mitochondria |
Rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane that converts energy stored in glucose into ATP for the cell |
| photosynthesis equation |
h2o+Co2+light——- o2+c6h12o6 (water+carbon dioxide+light——- oxygen+glucose {sugar}) |
| respiration equation |
o2+c6h12o6——h2o+co2+ATP |
| carbon dioxide |
One of the raw materials needed for photosynthesis (co2) |
| diffusion |
The movement of molecules from an area in which they are highly concentrated to an area in which they are less concentrated |
| osmosis |
The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane |
| active transport |
The movement of materials through the cell membrane using cellular energy |
