chemical bond
An energy-sharing arrangement of atoms to each other as parts of a molecule
Mitochondria
An organelle is responsible for producing energy by the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport of respiration occurs in these organelles
responsibility
Besides giving an earth-home to us, God gave us this to take care of it, of each other, and of ourselves for Himself.
dark
CO2 intake, release of energy, release of water, form carbohydrates
Photosynthesis
CO2+H2O-light----->(CH2O)n+O2
fifty

Evidence from archaeology shows that civilization and this have a common date of origin in history.
Plants provide
Food, shelter, and clothes.
anaerobic
In the absence of oxygen
aerobic
In the presence of oxygen as a gas
sunlight
Ingenhousz found that air would be purified only when green plants were in this
knowledge of agriculture
It is likely man had this since his creation.
anaerobic glycolysis

Plants harvest
Only a small portion of the sun's energy.
oil
Peanuts, flax, sunflowers, safflower and cotton are all grown for this.
true within limits
Photosynthesis continues to increase with temperature:
primarily at night
Plant respiration occurs:
organic
Produced by organisms as opposed to nonliving chemical processes
Ribosomes in plants and animals
Proteins are made by:
synthesis reaction
photosynthesis is this
dark reaction
Since carbon as an atmospheric gas is locked into a food molecule, it is termed carbon dioxide fixation. Another name for this process of photosynthesis is the:
complex organic molecules
Some of the most of these are those of proteins.
amino acid
The building blocks of proteins
produce a carbohydrate from CO2
The chemical energy stored in ATP during photosynthesis is released during the dark phase to:
Nicholas de Saussure
The first chemist to begin quantifying the process of photosynthesis.
glycolysis
The first stage in the decomposition of glucose
100 billion people
The greatest number of people plants have the potential to feed, according to some agronomists
thousands of different proteins
The twenty two amino acids are capable of producing:
1965-1966
The years of drought in India that showed the need for change.
Wild grasses
These can be intercrossed to produce varieties of plants identical to wheat.
Energy
These requirements of all organisms worldwide are linked to the sun by photosynthesis.
short stem
What primary genetic characteristic of wheat dramatically helped wheat production in India?
grass
Wheat appears to have originated from this wild species.
from the atmosphere
Where do plants obtain the oxygen necessary to utilize foods?
Middle east
Where the use of wheat as food can be traced back to.
Enzymes
are proteins
decomposition reaction
respiration is this
light
solar energy, storage of energy, release of O2, ATP
food
storage medium for energy, release energy during decomposition
Concerning carbohydrates
they all contain C, O, H, the ratio of H to C is fixed at 2:1
ADP
A chemical energy compound with two phosphate groups found in living cells
carbohydrate
A food made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
protein
A food made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
the chloroplast
A tiny body within plant cells is the power generator for life on earth.
light reaction
Hill is known for working out reactions taking place during this the of photosynthesis.
fat
Provides energy storage and structure for life
sugar beet and triticale
These were specifically developed by agronomists to increase needed food supplies.
crop production
The process used to select seeds, nutrients, and season to get the maximum production from a crop
protein synthesis
The putting together of protein molecules from amino acids
green revolution
The revolution in plant production that greatly increased crop yields
fermantation
