Chapter 2 Lesson 3 Flashcards
Chemical reaction for cellular respiration
C6H12O6 (sugar) + O2 (oxygen) ➡️ CO2 (carbon dioxide) + H2O (water) + energy (ATP)
Carbohydrate
A compound made from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Cellular respiration
Process where starches and sugars are broken down into the cells.
Cellulose
The main substance that makes up the cell wall in plants
Chlorophyll
The chemical that absorbs and stores the energy from sunlight
Chloroplasts
Where photosynthesis is carried out, located in the cells under epidermis
Photosynthesis
The process that uses energy from the sun to make food from water and carbon dioxide
Stoma
Tiny pores in the bottom of leaves that take in carbon dioxide from the air
Chemical reaction for photosynthesis
CO2 (Carbon dioxide) + energy (sun) + H2O (water) ➡️ C6H12O6 (sugar) + O2 (oxygen)
