100

A substance present in all living cells that provides energy for many metabolic processes and is involved in making RNA.

What is ATP?

100

A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring.

What is Chlorophyll?

100

A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place

What is the Chloroplast?

100

6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2

What is the equation for Photosynthesis?

100

Glucose and Oxygen.

What are the reactants of Cellular Respiration?

200
A process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction.


What is a Chemical Reaction?

200

The process by which cells produce energy from carbohydrates; atmospheric oxygen combines with glucose to form water and carbon dioxide.

What is Cellular Respiration?

200

An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers.

What is the Mitochondria?

200

Brings water up to the leaves from the roots through capillary action.

What is Xylem?

200

Carbon Dioxide and Water.

What are the products of Cellular Respiration?

300

A substance that is present at the end of a chemical reaction.

What is a Product?

300

Relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen.

What is Aerobic?

300
The breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.


What is the Glycolysis?

300

An opening on the bottom of leaves, opens and closes to bring in carbon dioxide (CO₂) for photosynthesis. Excess oxygen (O₂) exits through the stomata after the reaction takes place.

What is the Stomata?

300

Carbon Dioxide and Water.

What are the reactants of Photosynthesis?

400

A substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction.

What is a Reactant?

400

Relating to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen.

What is Anaerobic?

400
The sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondria, consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products, and converting ADP to energy-rich ATP.


What is the Krebs Cycle?

400

Occurs in the chloroplasts in plant cells.

Where does Photosynthesis occur?

400

Glucose and Oxygen.

What are the products of photosynthesis?

500

The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight , carbon dioxide and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.

What is Photosynthesis?

500
A colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.


What is Carbon Dioxide?

500

C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

What is the equation for Cellular Respiration?

500

Used to release the energy stored in the bonds of the glucose molecule.

What is Oxygen used for?

500

Takes place in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic cells.

Where does Aerobic Respiration take place?
