photosynthesis and respiration

Question 1

ATP

Answer 1

an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells

Question 2

Autotroph,

Answer 2

an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.

Question 3

Cellular Respiration

Answer 3

a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules or nutrients into adenosine triphosphate

Question 4

Chloroplast

Answer 4

a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.

Question 5

Glucose

Answer 5

a simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.

Question 6

Heterotroph

Answer 6

an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.

Question 7

Photosynthesis

Answer 7

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.

Question 8

Producer

Answer 8

an organism that produces organic compounds from simple substances such as water and carbon dioxide

Question 9

Monosaccharide

Answer 9

any of the class of sugars (e.g., glucose) that cannot be hydrolyzed to give a simpler sugar

Question 10

Polysaccharide

Answer 10

long chains of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds.

Question 11

Starch.

Answer 11

Starch is manufactured in the green leaves of plants from excess glucose produced during photosynthesis and serves the plant as a reserve food supply.
