Photosynthesis and Respiration Vocabulary

AB
cellular respirationthe process where plants and animals convert the energy in sugar to ATP energy
mitochondriaorganelle where cellular respiration occurs
glycolysisfirst step of cellular respiration - breakdown of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate (occurs in the cytoplasm)
carbon dioxidegas produced during cellular respiration
ATPadenosine triphosphate - molecule that stores energy (energy is released when ATP changes to ADP)
reactants of respirationoxygen and glucose (sugars)
products of respirationcarbon dioxide and water
glucosereactant in cellular respiration
oxygenreactant in cellular respiration
waterproduct of cellular respiration
aerobicprocess that requires oxygen (respiration is aerobic)
anaerobicprocess that does not require oxygen (fermentation is anaerobic)
fermentationprocess used to release energy when there isn't any oxygen
steps of respiration (in order)glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and Electron Transport
total molecules of ATP produced in cellular respiration36
photosynthesisthe process where plants use the energy of sunlight to change water and carbon dioxide into sugars and oxygen
photosynthesis equation (symbols)6CO2 + 6H2O ⇒ C6H12O6 + 6O2
photosynthesis equation (words)carbon dioxide and water ⇒ sugars and oxygen
chloroplastthe organelle where photosynthesis happens
chlorophyllthe pigment that gives plants their green color
glucoseanother name for sugar (a product in photosynthesis)
carbon dioxidethe gas needed by plants to complete photosynthesis (a reactant in photosynthesis)
sunlightthe source of energy for plants making food
leafthe plant part where photosynthesis happens
oxygengas given off as a byproduct of photosynthesis (a product of photosynthesis)
reactants of photosynthesiswhat goes into the photosynthesis reaction - carbon dioxide and water
products of photosynthesiswhat comes out of the photosynthesis reaction - glucose (sugars) and oxygen
respiration equation (symbols)6O2 + C6H12O6 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
respiration equation (words)oxygen + glucose ⇒ carbon dioxide + water + energy
