H Plants & Energy Vocabulary

Match the following

• Acid

• Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen

• Turgor Pressure

• The pressure that water molecules in the central vacuole exert against the cell wall - allows plants to stand up

• ATP

• A substance that increases the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution

• pH Scale

• (adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work

• Cellular Respiration

• scale with values from 0 to 14, used to measure the concentration of H+ ions in a solution; a pH of 0 to 7 is acidic, a pH of 7 is neutral, and a pH of 7 to 14 is basic
