| Autotroph | Organisms that can produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. |
| Heterotroph | Organisms that must consume other organisms for food. |
| ATP | The main energy molecule that living things use to store energy. |
| Photosynthesis | Process by which plants make sugars using sunlight energy to drive the process. |
| Chlorophyll | Main pigment in plants. |
| Chloroplast | Organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place. |
| Glycolysis | Process by which glucose is split into two pyruvate molecules. |
| Cellular respiration | Process by which glucose is completely broken down releasing energy. |
| Equation for cellular respiration | C6 H12 O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + energy |
| Equation for photosynthesis | CO2 + H2O + Sunlight energy --> C6 H12 O6 + O2 |
| Aerobic | Process that requires oxygen. |
| Anaerobic | Process that does not require oxygen. |
| Glucose | Main sugar produced by plants |
| Mitochondria | Organelle in the cell where energy is released from food molecules. |
| Pigments | Molecules that absorb light energy. |
