Unit 2 Vocabulary

4. a chemical change that is accompanied by a release of heat
6. the green color pigment in plants that trap sunlight for photosynthesis.
8. organelles that capture the energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis
9. the amount of food recommended by the manufacturer that dictates the nutritional information on the packaging
11. process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
15. 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
16. complex molecules are broken down to simpler ones and energy is released.
20. a process in which large molecules are built from small molecules
21. having a high vitamin and mineral content in relation to its calories
22. the form of sugar that is created during photosynthesis with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆

1. a chemical change that is accompanied by an absorption of heat
2. calories from food containing little or no nutrients
3. (fermentation)respiration that does not require oxygen
5. C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP Energy
7. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
10. respiration that requires oxygen
12. the sugars, starches and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products consisting of molecules made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen atoms
13. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the processes of cellular respiration and energy production occur.
14. acid product of fermentation in many types of cells, including human muscle cells
17. (adenosine triphosphate) the energy produced during cellular respiration and fermentation that your body uses for all life's processes.
18. small openings on the underside of the leaf. during photosynthesis, oxygen exits through the stomata
19. chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.
