Cell Basics
Control center of the cell
What is the nucleus?
Plants take this gas in during photosynthesis
What is carbon dioxide?
gas needed for respiration
What is oxygen?
movement of molecules from high to low concentration
Diffusion
Process removes carbon dioxide from the air
What is photosynthesis?
"powerhouse" that releases energy
What is the mitochondria?
Sugar made during photosynthesis
What is glucose?
This type of energy is released
ATP (Chemical Energy)
diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
Osmosis
Process adds carbon dioxide to the air
What is cellular respiration?
Captures sunlight for photosynthesis
What is the chloroplast?
Energy source that powers photosynthesis
What is the sun?
Word equation for respiration
What is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP)?
a cell placed in pure water
What is water moves into the cell and it swells?
how animals get carbon
by eating plants or other animals
Controls what enters or leaves the cell
What is the cell membrane?
Word equation for photosynthesis
What is carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen?
Where cellular respiration take place
What is the mitochondria?
a cell placed in salt water
What is water moves out of the cell and it shrinks?
Decomposers' role in the carbon cycle
What is break down dead organisms and release carbon dioxide
Stores water, food, and waste in a plant cell
Name two factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis
What is light intensity, carbon dioxide, and temperature?
Why might a plant grow more slowly in lower light
Less photosynthesis, less glucose made, slower growth
diffusion and osmosis help maintain homeostasis
What is they balance materials and water levels inside and outside the cell
Photosynthesis and respiration working together in the carbon cycle
What is photosynthesis removes CO₂, respiration releases CO₂ — they balance each other
