Cellular respiration

Back

How cells turn food into energy that the body can use to stay alive and grow.

Front

Electron transport

Back

The third step in cellular respiration where cells make a lot of energy (called ATP) that helps the body work properly.

Front

Glycolysis

Back

The first step in cellular respiration where cells start to change food into energy.

Front

Krebs cycle

Back

The second step in cellular respiration where cells turn food into energy, water, and carbon dioxide.

Front

Photosynthesis

Back

How plants make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create energy (in the form of carbohydrates).

Front

Cell membrane

Back

A thin layer around the cell that controls what goes in and out of the cell.

Front

Cell wall

Back

A strong layer found in plant cells that gives the cell support and protection.

Front

Chloroplast

Back

A part of plant cells that captures energy from sunlight to help the plant make food.

Front

Cytoplasm

Back

A jelly-like fluid inside the cell that fills the space between the different parts of the cell.
