Unit 6: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Cards in this deck (13)
- 1ReactantsIn a chemical reaction, the reactants must be present to start the reaction (what is NEEDED on the left side of the equation).
- 2ProductsDuring a chemical reaction, the reactants are changed into the products (what is PRODUCED).
- 3Cellular RespirationProcess in which all living things break down carbohydrates and create energy called ATP.
- 4ATPEnergy that is produced during respiration using the energy found in carbohydrates; useable form of energy.
- 5MitochondriaThe organelle where cellular respiration takes places; powerhouse of the cell.
- 6AnaerobicRespiration that happens in the ABSENCE of oxygen; produces less ATP.
- 7PhotosynthesisProcess in which plants convert sunlight into food (carbohydrates) for the plants.
- 8ChloroplastOrganelle that absorbs sunlight and then uses the light energy to perform photosynthesis.
- 9Aerobic RespirationA process in cells where ATP is produced in the PRESENCE of oxygen.
- 10StomataSmall opening on the underside of most leaves through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move.
- 11AutotrophAn organism that makes its own food.
- 12HeterotrophAn organism that cannot makes its own food.
- 13Glucosesugar, made during photosynthesis, main source of energy for plants and animals; C6H12O6
