Photosynthesis
This process uses sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food in plants.
What is photosynthesis?
This organelle is known as the powerhouse of the cell because it produces energy through respiration.
What is the mitochondrion?
These are the four main types of biomolecules found in living things.
What are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids?
Enzymes are a type of this biomolecule.
What is a protein?
Bacteria are an example of this type of cell.
What is a prokaryotic cell?
The gas taken in by plants during photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
The main energy-carrying molecule produced during cellular respiration.
What is ATP (adenosine triphosphate)?
This biomolecule is primarily responsible for long-term energy storage in animals.
What is a lipid?
The place on an enzyme where the substrate binds.
What is the active site?
These cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
What are eukaryotic cells?
This product of photosynthesis is a simple sugar that plants use for energy.
What is glucose?
The type of respiration that does not require oxygen.
What is anaerobic respiration?
The biomolecule that stores genetic information.
What is nucleic acid (DNA or RNA)?
This term describes how enzymes speed up chemical reactions.
What is lowering the activation energy?
This feature is found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells and stores the cell's DNA.
What is the nucleus?
The organelle where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells.
What is the chloroplast?
This gas is a waste product released during aerobic cellular respiration in animals.
What is carbon dioxide?
This biomolecule serves as the primary source of quick energy for most living organisms.
What is a carbohydrate?
High temperatures or extreme pH can cause enzymes to lose their shape in a process called...
What is denaturation?
Plant and animal cells are classified as this type of cell.
What are eukaryotic cells?
The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis uses these six molecules of water and six molecules of carbon dioxide to produce one molecule of glucose and _______ molecules of oxygen.
What is six molecules of oxygen?
What is the energy transformation in Cellular Respiration?
What is glucose to ATP?
This type of lipid is a major component of cell membranes.
What is a phospholipid?
This term refers to the minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction, which enzymes help to reduce.
What is activation energy?
The main structural difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
What is the presence of a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic cells, which prokaryotic cells lack?
