Photosynthesis and resperation

Question 1

ATP

Answer 1

Adenosine triphosphate is an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, condensate dissolution, and chemical synthesis.

Question 2

Autotroph

Answer 2

any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy, as most plants and certain bacteria and protists.

Question 3

Cellular resperation

Answer 3

the oxidation of organic compounds that occurs within cells, producing energy for cellular processes.

Question 4

chloroplast

Answer 4

A plastid containing chlorophyll

Question 5

Gluclose

Answer 5

A sugar having several optically different forms, the common dextrorotatory formoccurring in many fruits, animal tissues and fluids, etc., and having a sweetness about one half that of ordinary sugar, and the rare levorotatory form.

Question 6

Heterotroph

Answer 6

Biology. an organism requiring organic compounds for its principal source of food.

Question 7

Photosynthesis

Answer 7

The process of, carbon dioxide, water, and energy are converted into carbohydrates.

Question 8

Producer

Answer 8

A plant able to produce its own food.

Question 9

Monosaccharide

Answer 9

a carbohydrate that does not hydrolyze, as glucose, fructose, or ribose, occurring naturally or obtained by the hydrolysis of glycosides or polysaccharides.

Question 10

Polysaccharide

Answer 10

a carbohydrate, as starch, inulin, or cellulose, containing more than three monosaccharide units per molecule, the units being attached to each other in the manner of acetals, and therefore capable of hydrolysis by acids or enzymes to monosaccharides.

Question 11

Starch

Answer 11

a white, tasteless, solid carbohydrate
