C₆H₁₂O₆

process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy sugars

Process that releases ATP energy by breaking the bonds in a glucose molecule

A simple sugar used as the main chemical energy source (stored in carbon-hydrogen bonds) for cellular respiration

readily available energy source for cellular processes and life functions

A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell

Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis

Any natural or human activity that releases carbon into the atmosphere

A chemical reaction that breaks down compounds into simpler products.

organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (glucose)

A form of potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds between atoms

Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move

Living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant

Macromolecules made up of repeating simple sugars (such as glucose) that provide fast energy

vascular tissue that uses adhesion and cohesion to carry water upward from the roots to every part of a plant

Process in which sediment is laid down in new locations.

process of removal or something being removed

molecules moving from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

energy in an object or substance that is not being given off by the object or substance

to absorb fully; to adopt as one's own; to adapt fully

The burning of fuels that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

a chemical process that uses oxygen to create usable chemical energy (ATP) from glucose

A chemical process that occurs in the absence of oxygen, producing lactic acid instead of ATP

chemical compound produced by muscle cells when they break down carbohydrates for energy without enough oxygen present
