|---|---|
 photoysnthesis | The process green plants use to produce glucose, 6H20 (6 water) + 6 CO2 (6 Carbon Dioxide) + Solar Enery = C6H1206 (glucose) + 6O2 (6 oxygen) |
| autotroph | an organism that makes its own food |
| heterotroph | organism that obtains energy from the foods it consumes; also called a consumer |
| ATP | one of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store and release energy |
| products | elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction |
| reactants | a chemical substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction |
| chlorophyll | green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis |
| cellular respirtion | process by which living organism harvest the energy in food molecules C6H12O6 + 6O2--------6H2O + 6CO2 + 36 ATP |
| aerobic | Chemical reactions that require the presence of oxygen |
| anerobic | a process that does not require oxygen |
| lactic acid fermentation | one of the processes that supplies energy when oxygen is scarce, occurs in the body. This happens when muscle cells use up oxygen faster than can be replaced. Cell use this to produce energy, and a product is lactic acid. This buildup causes sore and tired muscles |
