Question | Answer |
---|---|
Autotroph | an organism that can make it's own food/energy. Example: Plants |
Heterotroph | an organism that depends on other organisms to supply its food/energy. Example: Humans and Animals |
Chlorophyll | a green pigment on the chloroplasts |
Stomata | opening of the underside of a leaf. Lets out oxygen and brings in carbon dioxide |
Photosynthesis- Stage 1 | Stage 1: the process of a plant capturing the energy of the sun by chlorophyll absorbing the energy in the chloroplasts. |
Photosynthesis- Stage 2 | Stage 2: the cell uses the energy to produce sugar and oxygen. Carbon dioxide + water = ---yields----> sugar + oxygen |
Respiration | cells break down sugar and release the energy |
