Photosynthesis
What must the leaves of a plant capture in order to made food?
energy from the sun
What does cellular respiration convert energy from food molecules into?
ATP
The tiny pores of the leaf that allow it to "breathe" and take in carbon dioxide.
stoma
What is the series of chemical reactions that convert energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP?
cellular respiration
What do plants make that is useful to them (not humans) during photosynthesis?
sugar
Where does the first step of cellular respiration happen?
cytoplasm
What part of the leaf captures sunlight to convert into carbon dioxide and water into glucose?
chloroplast
What is the series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into the food energy molecule glucose?
photosynthesis
What part of the leaf captures light energy?
chloroplasts
What is the process called that breaks down sugar molecules?
glycolysis
What are the vascular bundles in the leaves that act as a plants circulatory system called?
Hint: you can see them running through the leaves
veins
What is the process called in which glucose is broken down into smaller molecules?
glycolysis
What two things are made when carbon dioxide and water enter a leaf?
sugar and oxygen
Where does the second step of cellular respiration take place?
mitochondria
What is the jelly like substance that fills the plants cells called?
cytoplasm
What is another name for sugar?
glucose
What are the cells called that make up the "skin" of the leaf?
epidermal
What two reactants are required for cellular respiration?
glucose and oxygen
What is the "powerhouse of the cell" that generates most of the cell's ATP?
mitochondria
In what type of cells do most of the photosynthesis process take place?
mesophyll
