Explore the intricate processes of photosynthesis in plants, including the production of glucose, utilization of sunlight by chlorophyll, and release of oxygen, essential for all life on Earth. Learn about cellular respiration, ATP production, and the role of pigments in capturing solar energy.
E N D
The proper name of the food that plants produce during photosynthesis. Glucose
Process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria make their own food. PHOTOSYNTHESIS
The organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis takes place. CHLOROPLAST
What is the chemical symbol for glucose? C6 H12 O6
Term used to describe organisms such as plants, which make their own food. AUTOTROPH
Light absorbing molecules that capture the sun’s energy. PIGMENTS
One of the main chemical compounds that cells use to store and release energy. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
The green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and bacteria. CHLOROPHYLL
A pair of curved cells that surround the stomata. GUARD CELL
Pores on the underside of a leaf that let carbon dioxide and oxygen into and out of the leaf. STOMATA
What is produced in your muscles when you exercise and get short of breath? LACTIC ACID
What is the ultimate source of energy for all life on earth? SUN
What is the primary purpose for cellular respiration? RELEASE ENERGY
What are the raw materials for photosynthesis? CARBON DIOXIDE WATER
Where does a plant get it’s green color from? CHLOROPHYLL
The organelle where cellular respiration takes place. MITOCHONDRIA
What gas do plants release during the process of photosynthesis? OXYGEN
The breakdown of sugars to make ATP in the absence of oxygen. FERMENTATION
The process plants use to diffuse water from the xylem to the palisade cells and from open stomata. OSMOSIS
What are the products of photosynthesis? OXYGEN GLUCOSE
