Photosynthesis

The process in which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

2
New cards

Glucose

A sugar produced during photosynthesis, used by plants for energy and growth.

3
New cards

Mitochondria

Cell organelles where respiration occurs, releasing energy from glucose.

4
New cards

Starch

An insoluble storage molecule formed from glucose, used by plants to store energy.

5
New cards

Fats and Oils

Storage forms of energy in plants, derived from the glucose produced in photosynthesis.

6
New cards

Cellulose

A molecule that gives strength to the plant cell wall, made from glucose.

7
New cards

Amino Acids

Organic compounds that combine to form proteins; synthesized by plants using glucose and nitrate ions.

8
New cards

Nitrate Ions

Essential nutrients absorbed from the soil by plants to produce amino acids from glucose.

9
New cards

Respiration

The process through which plants release energy from glucose, occurring both day and night.
