Week 8 vocabulary practice: Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration

The process in which certain living things use energy in sunlight to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide and water.

• photosynthesis
• respiration
• transpiration
• evaporation

• An organelle found in the cells of green plants and photosynthetic algae where photosynthesis takes place.

• chloroplast

• mitochondria

• cell memmbrane

• nucleus

• A pore in the leaf and stem epidermis that is used for gaseous exchange.

• stomata
• cuticle

• pores in the root
• mesophyll

• Stacked membranous structure within the chloroplasts of plants and green algae that contains the chlorophyll and is the site of the light reactions of photosynthesis.

• stroma

• mitochondria
• thylakoid
• grana

• Membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria.

• grana
• nucleus
• thylakoids
• stroma

The source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.

• ADP
• GTP
• ATP
• NADH

The process in which cells break down glucose, release the stored energy.

• mitosis
• photosynthesis
• fermentation
• cellular respiration

The first stage of cellular respiration. It takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. This word also means "glucose splitting".

• mitosis
• photosynthesis
• glycolysis
• fermentation

Second stage of cellular respiration takes place. During this stage, two more molecules of ATP are produced.

• Glycolysis
• Electron transport chain
• Fermentation
• Krebs cycle

Set of chemical reactions performed by the plants to reduce carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. Also known as light independent reaction.

• Krebs Cycle

• respiration
• transpiration
• Calvin Cycle
