Cells
This controls what goes in and out of the cell.
Cell Membrane
Site of photosynthesis (organelle)
chloroplast
The burning of fossil fuels
Combustion
Cells use this for energy
ATP
When one cell divides and creates 2 identical cells
Mitochondria
Pigment that absorbs light
Chlorophyll
When plants absorb CO2
photosynthesis
This hormone brings glucose into the cell
insulin
Uncontrolled cell growth
Cancer
Controls the Cell, contains DNA
Nucleus
Reactants of Photosynthesis
CO2, H2O
When animals and plants use energy and release CO2
cellular respiration
This process does not require oxygen
anaerobic
A chemical that causes mutations in DNA, causing cancer
Carcinogen
Makes Proteins
Ribosome
Products of Photosynthesis
O2, Glucose
When animals consume Carbon (eat other animals or plants)
Consumption
reactants of cellular respiration
O2, glucose
When a tumor is not harmful
Benign
Cells use this for storage (water, sugar, etc.)
Vacuole
What colors of light do chloroplasts absorb?
red, blue
When plants and animals die, this happens
Decomposition
products of cellurar respiration
co2, water
