📸#14- 15 Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcards

Front

photosynthesis

Back

Plants use the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars

Front

chloroplast

Back

Organelle found in cells of plant cells and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy

Front

chlorophyll

Back

Green pigment in plants that capture light energy through its leaves used to carry out photosynthesis

Front

cellular respiration

Back

The process by which glucose combines with oxygen to produce ATP energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

consumer

Back

An organism that obtains energy by feeding on other organisms

Front

producer

Back

Able to make food for themselves (plants)

Front

mitochondria

Back

An organelle in eukaryotic cells that serves as the site of cellular respiration; uses oxygen to break down organic molecules and convert into ATP

Front

ATP

Back

(adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work in Cellular Respiration

Front

Oxygen and Glucose

Back

reactants of cellular respiration

Front

Carbon Dioxide and Water
