Definition
| A photosynthetic organism; a producer; an organism that absorbs the sun's energy and converts it into food |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process by which the chloroplast abssorbs sunlight and converts it into food = glucose (a carbohydrate) |
|

Term
|
Definition
| Any photosynthetic organism |

Term
|
Definition
| Any consumer; any organism that can not do photosynthesis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Any organism that can not do photosynthesis; this organism must eat producers or other consumers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| process by which organisms take in food molecules (glucose) and convert them to useable cellular energy (ATP) in the mitochondria |

|
Term
|
Definition
| represents the relative amount of energy in a gram of a substance |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Adenosine triphosphate; a useable form of cellular energy; produced by the mitochondria; transformed from Glucose during cellular respiration |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a series of reactions that occur inside the chloroplast, in the membrane of the thylakoids, during which time sunlight is converted to Glucose (a carbohydrate) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the first step of cellular respiration; occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell; takes glucose and breaks it into 2 smaller 3 carbon molecules |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the 2nd part of cellular respiration; occurs in the mitochondria; the 2 smaller 3-Carbon molecules from Glycolysis are converted to ATP |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of cellular respiration used by bacteria and other micro-organisms; does not use oxygen; produces less ATP and alcohol as a waste product |

|
Definition
| a cellular organelle found in photosynthetic organisms (producers); the site of photosynthesis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a green pigment molecule, found inside chloroplasts, responsible for photosynthesis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| located inside a chloroplast; a special disk-like structure where chlorophyll (the green photosynthetic pigment) is located |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the liquid inside the chloroplast; the dark reactions of photosynthesis occur here |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the 2nd part of photosynthesis; also known as the dark reactions of photosynthesis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Part 1 of photosynthesis; requires sunlight; occurs in the thylakoids of the chloroplasts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a colored molecule; it absorbs some wavelengths of light and reflects others |
