cellular respiration
when cells break down food to release energy
fermentation
when cells break down food to release energy without using oxygen
example: yeast
example: yeast
glucose
type of sugar that is broken down during respiration
mitochondria
cellular respiration takes place in this organelle
raw materials: carbon dioxide and water
What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?
products: sugar and oxygen
What are the the products of photosynthesis?
photosynthesis
when a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make food.
autotroph
an organism that makes its own food
heterotroph
an organism that cannot make its own food.
chlorophyll
green pigment that captures sunlight
stomata
small openings on a leaf that let oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and leave
The photosynthesis equation
chloroplasts
photosynthesis takes place in this organelle
diffusion
how oxygen and carbon dioxide cross the cell membrane
osmosis
how water crosses the cell membrane
