Cells + Respiration & Photosynthesis Flashcard

Front

What is a Plant Cell?

Back

A type of cell that contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis, a cell wall for structure, and large vacuoles for storage.

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, released during respiration.

Front

What do mitochondria need for respiration?

Back

Oxygen, which is used to convert glucose into energy.

Front

What is the function of Ribosomes?

Back

They are the organelles responsible for protein synthesis in the cell.

Front

Where does Photosynthesis occur in a plant cell?

Back

In the chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll to capture sunlight.

Front

What is Respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of Chloroplasts?

Back

Organelles that conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is a Prokaryotic Cell?

Back

A simple cell without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, such as bacteria.

Front

What is the difference between Plant and Animal Cells?

Back

Plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, while animal cells do not.

Front

What is the Golgi Apparatus?

Back

An organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion.
