Photosynthesis and Respiration Flashcards
ATP,
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), energy-carrying particle found within the cells of all living things. ATP captures chemical vitality gotten from the breakdown of nourishment atoms and discharges it to fuel other cellular forms.
Autotroph
an life form that’s able to create dietary natural substances from basic inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
Cellular Respiration
The method of cell catabolism in which cells turn food into usable vitality within the shape of ATP. In this prepare glucose is broken down within the nearness of atomic oxygen into six atoms of carbon dioxide, and much of the vitality discharged is protected by turning ADP and free phosphate into ATP.
, Chloroplast
a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes put.
, Glucose
Glucose is the most type of sugar within the blood and is the major source of vitality for the body’s cells. Glucose comes from the nourishments we eat or the body can make it from other substances. Glucose is carried to the cells through the bloodstream. Several hormones, counting affront, control glucose levels within the blood.
, Heterotroph
an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
, Photosynthesis
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
, Producer
producer. an organism that produces. (makes) its own food. ex: a plant or algae. Producers get their energy by making their own food.
, Monosaccharide
any of the class of sugars (e.g., glucose) that cannot be hydrolyzed to give a simpler sugar.
, Polysaccharide
a carbohydrate (e.g. starch, cellulose, or glycogen) whose molecules consist of a number of sugar molecules bonded together.
, Starch.
Starch, a white, granular, organic chemical that is produced by all green plants. Starch is a soft, white, tasteless powder that is insoluble in cold water, alcohol, or other solvents. … Starch is a polysaccharide comprising glucose monomers joined in α 1,4 linkages.
