Photosynthesis

The process by which plants use light energy, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose; oxygen is released.

Light energy

Energy from sunlight captured by chlorophyll to power photosynthesis.

Glucose

A sugar made during photosynthesis that store chemical energy and can be used in cellular respiration.

Carbohydrates

Sugars and related compounds plants make glucose, including starch and cellulose.

Chlorophyll

The green pigment that absorbs light energy.

Chloroplast

The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place

carbon dioxide (CO2)

A gas released during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.

water (H2O)

A substance absorbed by roots and used in photosynthesis; it is split during the light-dependent reactions.

Oxygen

A gas released during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration

Hydrogen

An element from water used in reactions that help plants makes sugar

Glucose formula

C 6 H 12 O 6 is the chemical formula for glucose

Sucrose

A sugar plant transport to other parts of the plant

Cellular Respiration

The process cells use to break down glucose with oxygen and release usable energy as ATP; carbon dioxide and water are produced

Mitochondria

Organelles where cellular respiration takes place and much of the cell’s ATP is produced.

ATP (adenonsine triphosphate)

An energy-rich molecule cells use to power their activities

ADP (adenonsine diphosphate)

A lower-energy molecule that can gain a phosphate group and energy to become ATP

Chemical energy

energy stored in chemical compounds, such as glucose and ATP

Stomata

Tiny openings, usually on the lower surface of leaves, that allows gases and water vapor to move in and out

Guard cells

cells around each stoma that control whether the opening opens or closes,

Transpiration

The loss of water vapor from a plant, mainly through leaf stomata.
