|---|---|
 Photosynthesis | Some bacteria and plants use light energy from the sun to make food (in the form of sugar). |
| What materials go into photosynthesis? | Water, carbon dioxide and sunlight energy. |
| What are the products of photosynthesis? | Glucose (sugar) and oxygen |
| What substance within the leaf absorbs sunlight energy? | Chlorophyll |
| Chlorophyll is contained within this organelle. | Chloroplast |
| Where are gases exchanged by the plant during photosynthesis? | Stomata (small openings in the leaves) |
| Identify the independent variable in the following experiment: How does the distance a plant is from a light source affect the rate of photosynthesis? | Distance from the light |
| Cellular respiration | A process used by living organisms to release the energy stored in the bonds that hold glucose together. |
| What is necessary to break apart glucose during cellular respiration? | Oxygen |
| What is released from the process of cellular respiration? | Carbon dioxide, water vapor and energy. |
| Stomata | Tiny holes in the leaves that allow gases (Carbon dioxide, water vapor, and oxygen ) to go in and out. |
| Glucose | Sugar produced during photosynthesis. |
| Chloroplast | The part of a plant cell (organelle) where photosynthesis takes place. |
