Chlorophyll

A green pigment located within the chloroplasts of plants.

Products of Cellular Respiration

Carbon Dioxide, Water and ATP ENERGY

Reactants (raw materials) of Photosynthesis

Carbon Dioxide, Water and SUNLIGHT

CO2

Chemical formula for carbon dioxide

C6H12O6

Chemical formula for glucose (sugar)

O2

Chemical formula for oxygen gas

H2O

Chemical formula for water

Sunlight

The source of MOST energy used by living things

Glucose

The type of sugar that is made in photosynthesis; Where ENERGY is stored

formula for photosynthesis

Water + carbon dioxide + sunlight --> oxygen + sugar

Products of Photosynthesis

Glucose and Oxygen

Reactants (raw materials) of Cellular Respiration

Glucose and Oxygen

Chloroplast

Location in the cell where photosynthesis takes place

Mitochondria

Location in the cell where respiration takes place

Respiration

Process that plants, animals, and most organisms use to break down sugar to RELEASE energy

Photosynthesis

Process used by plants to capture energy from sunlight and STORE it in sugars

ATP

The ENERGY molecule produced after cellular respiration

guard cells

open and close the stomata to control transpiration

formula for respiration

oxygen + sugar --> water + carbon dioxide + ATP (energy)

Transpiration

process of water evaporating from a plant's leaves

stomata

tiny openings on the undersides of leaves through which gases enter and exit
