Biology Vocab-1 Flashcards
Autotroph
Transform sunlight into food using photosynthesis
Heterotroph
Have to get their energy by eating or absorbing it
Reactant
Things that go into a chemical reaction
Product
The result of a chemical reaction
Chloroplast
Organelles in which photosynthesis occur
Mitochondria
Organelles in which cellular respiration occur
Matter
Anything that takes up space and has mass
Chemical bonds
Molecules with energy in them
Chemical energy
ATP
Photosynthesis
The process of using the energy in sunlight to make food
Macromolecules
A large molecule
Limiting factors
An environmental factor or variable that has the ability to stop growth
Primary Productivity
The amount of photosynthesis that occurs in an area
CO2
Carbon Dioxide
O2
Oxygen
H2O
Water
C6H12O6
Glucose
What are the 4 Macromolecules?
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Nucleic Acids
Proteins
What type of cells might have more mitochondria than others?
Muscle cells and nerve cells because they need more energy
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
C6H1206 + 602 –> 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP
What is the chemical equation for Photosynthesis?
6H20 + 6CO2 -light-> C6H12 + 602
IV
Factor you manipulate in the experiment
DV
Factor you measure
Controlled variables
Things that stay the same
