word | definition |
---|---|
photosynthesis | plants make their own food. |
cellular resperation | the process by which the cheimcal |
chloroplast | an elongated cell organelle containing chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place |
chlorophyll | a green molecule which uses light energy from light to change water into carbon dioxide gas into sugar oxygen |
glucose | sugar |
mitocondria | rod shaped organelles with a double membrane which coverts energy stored in the glucose into ATP for the cell |
photosynthesis equation | H2O + CO2 + light -----------> O2 + C6H12O6 water + carbon + sun -----------> oxygen+ glucose dioxide (Sugar) |
respiration equation | O2 + C6H12O6 --------------->H2O + Co2 +ATP oxygen + glucose ---------------> water+ carbon + energy dioxide |
carbon dioxide | the substance that animals breath out |
diffusion | Dissolved substances have to pass through the cell membrane to get into or out of a cell. Diffusion is one of the processes that allows this to happen. Diffusion occurs when particles spread. |
osmosis | a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. |
active transport | the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy. |
