Term
photosynthesis reaction
Definition
6CO2 + H2O + sunlight energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Term
photosynthesis
Definition
process by which producers trap sunlight energy to make gluose
Term
respiration
Definition
process by which organisms burn sugar with oxygen to make ATP energy
Term
respiration reaction
Definition
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + H2O + ATP energy
Term
carbon dioxide
Definition
CO2, released by organisms by cellular respiration
Term
oxygen
Definition
O2, released by producers by photosynthesis
Term
sunlight energy
Definition
travels as photons (particles) of light, used by producers to make glucose
Term
chemical energy
Definition
energy stored in molecules such as lipids, glucose, and ATP.
Term
chlorophyll
Definition
a green pigment molecule found in the chloroplast that traps sunlight energy in photosynthesis
Term
glucose
Definition
sugar made by producers by photosynthesis
Term
ATP
Definition
adenosine triphosphate, provides energy for the cell, made during cellular respiration
Term
reactants
Definition
substances that change in a chemical reaction
Term
products
Definition
substances that result from a chemical reaction
Term
aerobic
Definition
with oxygen, makes more ATP
Term
anaerobic
Definition
without oxygen, makes less ATP
