6. Unit 2 Vocabulary
abiotic factor
A physical factor of the environment such as water, light, temperature, soil, air.
active transport
A process that uses energy to move (transport) materials from an area of low concentration to high
concentration. That is moving against the concentration gradient.
alcoholic fermentation
Anaerobic respiration which produces carbon dioxide, alcohol and 2 ATP.
amino acids
The basic building blocks of proteins.
anaerobic respiration
Respiration that does not uses molecular oxygen.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
The main energy carrying molecule in the cell.
Name: ________________________________

biotic factors
Living things and their effect on each other.
carbohydrate
An organic nutrient made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and having a carbon to hydrogen ratio of
2:1.
cell
The basic unit of structure and function of all living things.
cell membrane
The semi-permeable outer boundary of the cell, made of lipids and protein.
cell wall
The rigid porous structure that surrounds the cells of plants and some microorganisms.
cellular respiration
The enzyme-controlled process in which energy is released from food and converted into a form
that the cell can use.
chlorophyll
The green pigment found in plants and algae that is essential for photosynthesis.
chloroplast
A chlorophyll-containing plastid that is the site of photosynthesis.
decomposers
Organisms of decay which convert organic compounds into inorganic compounds.
dialysis tubing (plastic bag from the Starch/Iodine Lab)
A semi-permeable tubing used to demonstrate the properties of the cell membrane.
diffusion
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
without the use of energy.
environment
All the living and nonliving things that surround a living thing.
excretion
The removal of metabolic wastes.
heterotroph
An organism that cannot make its own food and therefore must ingest (eat) organic nutrients.
inorganic
Name: ________________________________
Date: _________________________________
A compound that does not contain both carbon and hydrogen.
metabolic wastes
Waste material produced as a result of metabolic activities, including carbon dioxide, water,
nitrogenous wastes and salts.
mitochondria
An oval-shaped organelle which is the site of cellular respiration.
molecule
Two or more atoms chemically combined.
nucleus
In the cell, a large membrane enclosed organelle that contains the chromosomes.
nutrients
Food; molecules used by the cell for its metabolic activities including energy, growth, repair and
regulation.
nutrition
The taking in and processing of food to make it usable.
organelle
A structure found in the cell that performs a specific function.
organic molecules
Molecules that contain both carbon and hydrogen.
organism
An individual living thing.
photosynthesis
The process by which green plants (autotrophs) convert light energy to chemical-bond energy
stored in organic nutrients.
protein
An organic compound made of amino acids.
respiration
The process which releases chemical bond energy from organic nutrients (food).
ribosome
The organelle that is the site of protein synthesis in the cell.
starch
A carbohydrate composed of many glucose molecules.
Name: ________________________________

synthesis
A chemical process in which small molecules are joined make large molecules.
vacuoles
Bubble-like storage areas for food and water in the cell, enclosed by a membrane.
