Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

Aerobic Cellular Respiration

Back

The type of cellular respiration that uses oxygen as a reactant and results in a high yield of ATP.

Front

Anaerobic Cellular Respiration

Back

The type of cellular respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen and results in a relatively low yield of ATP.

Front

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Back

An energy molecule used for cellular processes; formed in mitochondria via the process of cellular respiration.

Front

Cellular Respiration

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose into chemical energy in the form of ATP to be used by cells.

Front

Chloroplast

Back

An organelle in eukaryotic producers that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis.

Front

Glucose

Back

A simple sugar produced by photosynthesis.

Front

Mitochondria

Back

The organelles in eukaryotic cells that are the sites where aerobic respiration occurs. They use oxygen to break down organic molecules and form ATP.

Front

Photosynthesis

Back

The process that uses sunlight energy to chemically combine water and carbon dioxide to make sugar.

Front

Product

Back

A newly formed substance produced by a chemical reaction.

Front

Reactant

Back

A starting material in a chemical reaction.
