| photosynthesis | process by which cells captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make food |
| pigments | colored chemical compounds that absorb light |
| chlorophyll | a green pigment found in chloroplasts that captures light energy and uses it to power the second stage of photosynthesis |
| stomata | small openings on the undersides of leaves |
| respiration | the process by which cells obtain energy from glucose |
| fermentation | energy releasing process for cells that does not require oxygen |
| autotroph | an organism that makes it's own food |
| hetertroph | an organism that cannot make it's own food |
| respiration equation | C6-H12-O6 (sugar) + 6O2 (oxygen) --> 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) + energy |
| photosynthesis equation | 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) -->(light energy) C6-H12-O6 (sugar) + 6O2 (oxygen) |
| photosynthesis process | process by which plants and some other organisms use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen. Nearly all living things obtain either directly or indirectly from the energy of sunlight captured during this process. |
| fermentation process | process that provides energy for cells without using oxygen |
| respiration process | process where cells break down simple food molecules such as sugar and release the energy they contain |
