Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcards
the process plants use to make their own food from the sun’s energy
photosynthesis
the process of getting energy from food
cellular respiration
the energy-carrying molecule that cells use for energy; energy in the cell
ATP
Green pigment in the chloroplast that gives plants their green color
chlorophyll
organisms that can make their own food (2)
producers and autotrophs
organisms that create complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules using a source of energy
autotrophs
the sugar that acts as the food for plants; it is also the main product of photosynthesis
glucose
an organelle in the cells of plants and algae that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis
chloroplast
organisms that must eat
consumers
the ability to do work
energy
organic molecules that store energy in their chemical bonds
food
shows how energy and matter flow from producers to consumers
food chain
the process of obtaining energy from food without oxygen
fermentation
Heterotrophs are living things that cannot make their own_______________________.
