sol 7.5
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| photosynthesis | the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. |
| respiration | a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances. |
| stomata | are very small openings in membranes, particularly in plants, through which water and gas pass. |
| guard cells | is an epidermal cell that can open the stomata to take in or release oxygen, carbon dioxide and water, |
| cholrophyll | a green pigment, present in all green plants responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. |
| light dependent reaction | series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that require light energy that is captured by light-absorbing pigments (such as chlorophyll) to be converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. |
| light independent reaction | light-independent reactions, or dark reactions, of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. |
| energy pyramid | An energy pyramid is a graphical model of energy flow in a community. |
| producer | An autotrophic organism capable of producing complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules through the process of photosynthesis |
| mitochondrion | an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. |
| autotroph | an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide. |
| counsumers | An organism that generally obtains food by feeding on other organisms |
| herbivore | is an animal that gets its energy from eating plants, and only plants. |
| omnivore | An omnivore is a kind of animal that eats either other animals or plants. |
| heterotrophs | An organism that cannot manufacture its own food and instead obtains its food and energy by taking in organic substances, |
| carnivores | an animal or a plant that only eats animals |
| decomposers | organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so, they carry out the natural process of decomposition. |
| spongy layer | a layer of loosely packed and irregularly shaped |
| palisade layer | layer of columnar cells rich in chloroplasts |
| raw materials | materials or substances used in the primary production or manufacturing of goods. |
| oxygen | A colorless, tasteless, oderless, gaseous element that abounds in the atmosphere. that we breath in to live |
| carbon dioxide | is a colorless, odorless gas found in our atmosphere. Its chemical formula is CO2, which means it is one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is a waste product in our bodies and is also produced by burning fossil fuels. |
| portfolios | questioning |
| glucose | Glucose is the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells. |
| products | a chemical substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction |
