Unit 3 Vocab Practice

Photosynthesis

• 
  the process plants use to convert light energy into chemical

  
  

• includes both aerobic and anaerobic respiration but is often used to refer to aerobic respiration

  
  

• the action of breathing

• 
  Partial degradation of sugars or other organic fuel that occurs without the use of oxygen - it is the result of anaerobic respiration

   

   

  
  

Cellular Respiration

Anaerobic respiration

• no oxygen is consumed

• oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with the organic fuel

• chemical compound that absorbs light and gives organisms their color

Aerobic respiration

• no oxygen is consumed

• oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with the organic fuel

• chemical compound that absorbs light and gives organisms their color

Pigment

• no oxygen is consumed

• oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with the organic fuel

• chemical compound that absorbs light and gives organisms their color

Chlorophyll

• green pigment in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria that absorbs the sunlight needed for photosynthesis

• organelle found in plants, algae, and some bacteria where photosynthesis takes place oxygen gas breathed in by humans that is a product of photosynthesis

• tiny holes that are located in the leaves of plants where gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen are able to enter and exit

Chloroplast

• green pigment in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria that absorbs the sunlight needed for photosynthesis

• organelle found in plants, algae, and some bacteria where photosynthesis takes place oxygen gas breathed in by humans that is a product of photosynthesis

Stomata

• green pigment in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and some bacteria that absorbs the sunlight needed for photosynthesis

• organelle found in plants, algae, and some bacteria where photosynthesis takes place oxygen gas breathed in by humans that is a product of photosynthesis

• tiny holes that are located in the leaves of plants where gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen are able to enter and exit
