Cell Processes Review

The proper name of the food that plants produce during

photosynthesis.

Glucose

The outer cell layer of the leaf.

EPIDERMIS

What is the chemical symbol for carbon?

C

Process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria make

their own food.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

The organelle found in plant and algae cells where

photosynthesis takes place.

CHLOROPLAST

What is the chemical symbol for glucose?

C6 H12 O6

Term used to describe organisms such as plants,

which make their own food.

AUTOTROPH

Light absorbing molecules that capture the sun’s energy.

PIGMENTS

One of the main chemical compounds that cells use to store and release energy.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

The green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants,

algae, and bacteria.

CHLOROPHYLL

A pair of curved cells that surround the stomata.

GUARD CELL

Pores on the underside of a leaf that let carbon dioxide and oxygen into and out of the leaf.

STOMATA

What is produced in your muscles when you exercise

and get short of breath?

LACTIC ACID

What is the ultimate source of energy for all life on earth?

SUN

What is the primary purpose for cellular respiration?

RELEASE ENERGY

What is the chemical symbol for hydrogen?

H

Where does a plant get it’s green color from?

CHLOROPHYLL

XYLEM

The tissue that carries the plant’s water.

MITOCHONDRIA

The organelle where cellular respiration takes place.

OXYGEN

What gas do plants release during the process of

photosynthesis?

CO2

What is the chemical symbol for carbon dioxide?

The breakdown of sugars to make ATP in the absence of

oxygen.

FERMENTATION

OSMOSIS

The process plants use to diffuse water from the xylem to

the palisade cells and from open stomata.

PHLOEM

The tissue that carries the plant’s food.

What are the products of photosynthesis?
