The Transfer of Energy: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration (Unit 4) Flashcards
Autotrophs can turn _____ raw material into _______ compounds
inorganic into organic
ATP
a cell’s usable energy
ATP stands for…
adenosine triphosphate
ATP stores the…
chemical energy your cells need
chemical bonds
bonds that store energy from food
photosynthesis
a process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy (sun to glucose)
chloroplast
the cell organelle that photosynthesis occurs in
__ must be present for photosynthesis to take place
sun/sunlight
photosynthesis formula
CO2 + H20 + SUN turn into O2 + C6H12O6 (glucose)
guard cells
cells that form an opening in the surface of the leaf
stomata
opening formed by 2 guard cells on the surface of the leaf
site of ___ and ___ exchange with the environment
gas and water
stomata and guard cells help maintain…
homeostasis
cellular respiration
a process that releases chemical energy (makes ATP) from glucose (food) (glucose to ATP)
more oxygen present=
more ATP produced
