12 flashcards · Biology · by Serenity Underwood

1. Autotroph

   organisms that can make their own food

2. Heterotroph

   organisms that need to consume food to have energy

3. ATP

   adenosine triphosphate the more technical term for energy three phosphates

4. Photosynthesis

   the process that converts light energy to make energy 6H2O (water) + light energy + 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) = 6O2 (oxygen) + C6H12O6 (glucose, sugar)

5. Cellular Respiration

   the process that converts [consumed] glucose (sugar) to ATP (energy) 6O2 (oxygen) + C6H12O6 (glucose, sugar) = 6H2O (water) + ATP (energy) + 6CO2 (carbon dioxide)

6. Mitochondria

   the organelle that cellular respiration takes place

7. Chloroplast

   the organelle that photosynthesis takes place

8. Thylakoid

   the "pancakes" or "coins" of the chloroplast

9. Stroma

   the "syrup" of the chloroplast

10. Product

    the "result" (what goes out) of a reaction

11. Reactant

    the "ingredients" (what goes in) of a reaction

12. -ose

    carbohydrates (sugar)
