Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

AB
Photosynthesisprocess by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to change water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugars, starches
Cellular Respirationprocess that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Mitochondriapowerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the iste of cellular respiration
Stomatasmall openings (pores) on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move
Transpirationrelease of excess water into the air through the stomata
Chlorophyllpigment that gives a plant its green color. Found int he chloroplasts, absorbs energy from the sun
Chloroplastorganelle found in plants where photosynthesis takes place
Oxygengas that is a product of photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxidegas that is a reactant of photosynthesis
Leafthe part of the plant where most photosynthesis takes place
Light Energyenergy from the sun that is used by plants to fuel the process of photosynthesis (splits apart H2O molecule)
Photosynthesis word equationCarbon dioxide + Water + Light --> glucose and oxygen
Glucosethe type of sugar made during photosynthesis; stores energy from the sun and is used by plants and animals as "food"; C6H12O6
Producta substance that is formed by a chemical reaction
Reactanta substance that undergoes a chemical reaction to form something new
Autotrophan organism that makes its own food
Heterotrophan organism that cannot make its own food, and must get energy from other organisms
Cellular Respiration word equationGlucose + Oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
ATPEnergy produced as a result of cellular respiration; adenosine triphosphate
Anaerobic Respirationdoes not use oxygen
Aerobic Respirationuses oxygen
Fermentationwhen oxygen is NOT present in anerobic cellular respiration
Location of Photosynthesischloroplast
Reactants of Photosynthesiscarbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), sunlight
Products of Photosynthesisglucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)
Thylakoida flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy
Stromafluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoid
Granumstack of thylakoids
