Unit #10 Science Terms

What does Photosynthesis mean?

• process by which green plants and some other organisms make their own food (sugar) in the presence of sunlight

• the process by which a living things grow; 4 stage process that produces 2 identical cells (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, & telophase)

• chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy

• made of carbon when broken down it releases energy

What does Digestion mean?

• movement of blood and nutrients throughout the body

• examples are fats and oils are; in animals they are the 2nd source of energy

• molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells

• process of breaking down food into substances that can be used by the body

What does Meiosis mean?

• the process by which a living things grow; 4 stage process that produces 2 identical cell (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, & telophase)

• Process by which green plants and some other organisms make their own food (sugar) in the presence of sunlight

• process that produces the gametes for sexual reproduction

• chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy

What does Cellular Respiration mean?

• made up of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), and Nitrogen (N); needed for growth, repair, and regulation of body functions examples are enzymes

• simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.

• made up of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O); examples are fats and oils are; in animals they are the 2nd source of energy

• Process by which cells break down sugar to release stored energy; through this process cells convert energy (glucose) to a usable form of energy (ATP)

What does Circulation mean?

• movement of blood and nutrients throughout the body

• simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.

• made up of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O); examples are fats and oils are; in animals they are the 2nd source of energy

• Process by which cells break down sugar to release stored energy; through this process cells convert energy (glucose) to a usable form of energy (ATP)

What does Glucose mean?

• movement of blood and nutrients throughout the body

• simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.

• made up of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O); examples are fats and oils are; in animals they are the 2nd source of energy

• Process by which cells break down sugar to release stored energy; through this process cells convert energy (glucose) to a usable form of energy (ATP)

What does Mitosis mean?

• process by which green plants and some other organisms make their own food (sugar) in the presence of sunlight

• the process by which a living things grow; 4 stage process that produces 2 identical cells (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, & telophase)

• chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy

• made of carbon when broken down it releases energy

What does Protein mean?

• the process by which a living things grow; 4 stage process that produces 2 identical cell (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, & telophase)

• Process by which green plants and some other organisms make their own food (sugar) in the presence of sunlight

• needed for growth, repair, and regulation of body functions examples are enzymes

• chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy

What does Lipid mean?

• process by which green plants and some other organisms make their own food (sugar) in the presence of sunlight

• the process by which a living things grow; 4 stage process that produces 2 identical cells (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, & telophase)
