Cellular Respiration
The process in which cells break down glucose and other molecules to produce ATP and release carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
cellular respiration
The process by which molecules move without the use of energy.
Passive transport
The process by which water is drawn up from the roots, through the xylem, and evaporates from the surface of leaves.
transpiration
This sugar is produced in the leaves through photosynthesis and transported to other parts of the plant for energy.
glucose
This compound is responsible for the accumulation of fatigue in muscles during intense exercise.
lactic acid
The organelle where cellular respiration takes place in eukaryotic cells.
mitochondrion
The type of transport that requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient.
Active transport
The environmental factor that would most likely increase the rate of transpiration.
temperature/light/wind
The long tubes in plants that transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
xylem vessels
The main source of energy for muscle contraction during short bursts of intense activity.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
How many times more molecules are produced during aerobic respiration compared to anaerobic respiration?
18-19 times
This type of transport requires the assistance of carrier proteins to move molecules across the cell membrane.
facilitated diffusion
The tiny openings on the surface of leaves allow for the exchange of gases and the release of water vapor during transpiration.
stomata
The process by which sugars produced in the leaves are transported to other parts of the plant for energy or storage.
translocation
The accumulation of waste products, such as carbon dioxide, contributes to this sensation in muscles.
muscle fatigue
The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration.
oxygen
The process by which large particles or molecules are engulfed by a cell, forming a vesicle.
endocytosis
This environmental factor which decrease the rate of transpiration by affecting the concentration gradient of water vapor.
humidity
Plant organ that store sugar
sink
The process by which muscles repair and strengthen themselves after experiencing fatigue.
muscle recovery
The initial stage of cellular respiration that takes place in the cytoplasm and involves the breakdown of glucose into a three-carbon compound.
glycolysis
This process involves the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane.
osmosis
The structure that helps minimize water loss by closing and opening the stomata on the surface of leaves.
guard cells
The movement of water and minerals through the xylem from the roots to the leaves.
upward translocation
The organelle responsible for the synthesis of proteins in a eukaryotic cell.
