Vocabulary flashcards based on the concepts of photosynthesis and respiration.

Photosynthesis

The process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Chlorophyll

A green pigment found in plants that is crucial for photosynthesis as it helps absorb light energy.

Cellular Respiration

The metabolic process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Aerobic Respiration

A type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen to produce energy.

Anaerobic Respiration

A type of cellular respiration that occurs in the absence of oxygen, leading to the production of less energy.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

The energy-carrying molecule found in all living organisms that provides energy for cellular processes.

Stomata

Small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange; they play a key role in photosynthesis and respiration.

Electron Transport Chain

A series of proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons and generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

Light Reactions

The first stage of photosynthesis where sunlight is captured and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Calvin Cycle

The second stage of photosynthesis that uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
