Photosynthesis
The process by which plants use sunlight to make food.
Photosynthesis
The process cells use to break down glucose for energy.
Cellular Respiration
Organisms like plants that make their own food.
producers or autotrophs
The process cells use to get energy without oxygen
fermentation
The process by which a cell splits into two identical daughter cells
mitosis
The green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs light.
Chlorophyll
The organelle where most of cellular respiration occurs
Mitochondrion
Organisms that eat others for energy.
consumers or heterotrophs
The type of fermentation used by yeast to make bread rise.
alcoholic fermentation
The phase of the cell cycle where DNA is copied
interphase
The gas released as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Oxygen
The raw materials needed for cellular respiration.
glucose and oxygen
The process that decomposers use to break down dead matter.
decomposition
The product of lactic acid fermentation that causes muscle soreness.
lactic acid
The four stages of mitosis in order.
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
The small openings in leaves where carbon dioxide enters.
Stomata
The waste products of cellular respiration.
carbon dioxide and water
A model showing multiple food chains in an ecosystem.
food web
The reason why fermentation releases less energy than cellular respiration.
lack of oxygen
The phase where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
metaphase
The two stages of photosynthesis.
Capturing sunlight and producing sugars
The equation for cellular respiration.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy
The type of energy that is transferred through food chains
chemical energy
Two types of fermentation.
What are alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation
The final phase of cell division where the cytoplasm splits
cytokinesis
