Cell Process Study Guide
1. The organelle in green plants that captures the sun’s energy to make glucose is chloroplast.
2. Two waste products of respiration are: carbon dioxide, water, ATP energy
3. The process by which plants make their own food is called photosynthesis.
4. Two substances produced during photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
5. The green pigment found in plants is called chlorophyll.
6. Mitosis is the process in which the cell reproduces to make an exact copy of itself.
7. The organelle that performs cellular respiration is the mitochondria.
8. The process of molecules moving from a crowded are to a less crowded area is diffusion.
9. Where does the plant get energy to make food? The mitochondria
10. What would happen if the plant cell could ONLY perform photosynthesis? It would make so much
glucose , but not be able to use the energy to build, repair, or reproduce new cells.
11. Why do cells carry out elimination? to get rid of harmful wastes.
12. Why do cells carry out cellular respiration? It is a way to break food into a usable energy for the
cell to build, repair, and reproduce new cells.
