energy they need to
survive.
What is
Photosynthesis is the
photosynthesis?
process during which
organisms like plants,
some bacteria, and
some protists make
their own food.
What are the raw

photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide and
water.
What are the

glucose and oxygen.
What is the
photosynthesis
equation?
What is glucose?
light
6 CO2 + 6 H20
C6H12O6 + 6 O2
chlorophyll
Glucose is the simple
sugar produce during
photosynthesis.
What is the chemical C6H12O6
formula for glucose?
What is an

organism that can
make its own food.
Plants are autotrophs.
What is a
A heterotroph is an
heterotroph?
organims that cannot
make its own food.
Animals are
heterotrophs.
What is chlorophyll? Chlorophyll is the
green pigment found
in most autotrophs.
What is cellular
respiration?
What are the raw
materials of cellular
respiration?
What are the
products of cellular
respiration?
Cellular respiration is
the process by which
organisms get energy
from food.
The raw materials of
cellular respiration
are glucose and
oxygen.
The products of
cellular respiration
are carbon dioxide,
water, and energy.
What is the cellular
respiration equation? C6H12O6 + 6 O2
6 CO2 + 6 H20 + Energy
What is ATP?
What is
fermentation?
ATP (Adenosine
triphosphate) is the
energy rich molecule
created during cellular
respiration.
Fermentation is a kind of
cellular respiration that
does not require oxygen.
What organelle is
most responsible for
the process of
photosynthesis?
What organelle is

the process of
cellular respiration?
What are stomata?
Photosynthesis
occurs in
chloroplasts.
Cellular respiration
occurs mostly in
mitochondria.
Stomata are small holes
(pores) in leaves that allow
gases to enter and leave.
(CO2 goes in; O2 and water
vapor go out.)
What are guard cells? Guard cells are beanshaped cells that surround
the stomata and regulate
the amount of gases going
in and out of a leaf.
What is the
Aerobic respiration
difference between

aerobic and anaerobic anaerobic does not.
