The process where sun energy, along with CO2 and water, create O2 and glucose (sugar)
Photosynthesis

The process cells use to take food energy (glucose and water) and turn it into ATP.
Cellular Respiration

An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.
The pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
What color is the chlorophyll pigmant
Green

Water enters the plants.
Roots![]()
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells.
Mitochondria

This process will screech to a halt if Colorado goes into a major drought in the summer?
Photosynthesis
The powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
The system in the human body that transports glucose and oxygen to the mitochondria
Circulatory System
The part of the plant responsible for gas exchange... absorbs CO2, releases O2.
Stomata

Reactants (inputs) of cellular respiration.
Glucose and Oxygen
Planting more trees would increase this amount of gas in the atmosphere.
Another word for glucose
Sugar
Where are chloroplast located on plants?
The reactants (inputs) of photosynthesis
Products (outputs) of cellular respiration.
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
Burning more fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) increases the amount of this gas in the atmosphere.
Carbon Dioxide
The chemical formula for glucose
C6H12O6
The chemical formula for PHOTOSYNTHESIS (include sunlight)
6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight --> C6H12O2 + 6O2
The organelle that captures light in a plant cell.
Chloroplast

The energy currency of the cells
ATP

When is photosynthesis production higher... day or night?
Day
The system in the human body that breaks down glucose molecules
Digestive System
The chemical formula for CELLULAR RESPIRATION
C6H12O2 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP Energy
