Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 cell membrane | controls what enters and leaves the cell |
| selectively permeable | picky about which substances can pass through the membrane and which substances cannot |
| nucleus | the cell's control center; contains the genetic information, DNA |
| deoxyribonucleic acid | DNA; genetic information in the cell that directs the cell's activities |
| photosynthesis | the process by which a plant cell captures the sun's energy and uses it to produce glucose (sugar) |
| chloroplasts | the organelle in a plant cell where photosynthesis takes place |
| chlorophyll | a pigment that captures energy from sunlight during photosynthesis |
| stomata | small openings on the undersides of the leaves that allow gases to enter and exit the plant |
| photosynthesis reactants | carbon dioxide and water |
| photosynthesis products | glucose (sugar) and oxygen |
| photosynthesis equation | carbon dioxide plus water with energy from sunlight yields glucose (sugar) plus oxygen |
| cellular respiration | cell breaks the chemical bonds in simple food molecules and releases the energy they contain |
| mitochondria | convert energy from food molecules into energy the cell can use to carry out its functions |
| cellular respiration reactants | glucose (sugar) and oxygen |
| cellular respiration products | carbon dioxide, water and energy |
| cellular respiration equation | glucose (sugar) plus oxygen yields carbon dioxide plus water plus energy |
