Organelle only found in plants and function is to collect solar energy to produce glucose for plants

Cellular Respiration

Oxygen and release Carbon Dioxide

Oxygen

Products (output) of Photosynthesis

Passive Transportation

Type of Cellular Respiration that does not require energy

Mutualism

Organism relationship where BOTH organisms benefit

Limiting factor

Any biotic or abiotic factor that causes a population’s size to decrease

Parasitism

Organism relationship where one organism benefits and the other is harmed

Population

A group of animals all of the same species living in a location

Producer

Indian Rice Grass, Yucca Tree, and Saltbush all get their energy from the sun and are therefore known as….

Makes proteins

Diploid

Organism or cell with two sets of chromosomes

Gamete

Haploid cell with ½ the reproductive information from the parent

Chromosome

Structure in the cell nucleus that houses a cell’s genetic information

Haploid
