Lecture Notes Review

Flashcards covering key terms and concepts related to photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Photosynthesis

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll

A green pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis.

Stomata

Small openings on the surface of leaves that allow gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen to enter and exit.

Cellular Respiration

The process by which cells break down glucose and other organic molecules to produce energy.

Glucose

A simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms.

Respiration Equation

The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 <br /> ightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + ATP$.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

An energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things.
