Photosynthesis
The process by which plants and other autotrophs capture and use light energy to make food from carbon dioxide and water.
autotroph
An organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food.
heterotroph
An organism that cannot make its own food and gets food by consuming other things.
chlorophyll
A green photosynthetic pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria.
cellular respiration
the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
glucose
A common sugar that is found in nature; is the food that plants make during photosynthesis
respiration
moving air in and out of your lungs - breathing
lactic acid
A compound produced during fermentation that causes pain and weakness in human muscles.

chlorophyll
what is the source of energy during photosynthesis?
sunlight
stomata
the tiny openings on the underside of a leaf that help plants take in CO2
they are stored at starches for later use

oxygen
a gas produced during photosynthesis
reactants
