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 are the raw materials for
photosynthesis?
CARBON DIOXIDE
WATER
What is the chemical symbol
for hydrogen?
H
Where does a plant get it’s
green color from?
CHLOROPHYLL
The tissue that carries the
plant’s water.
XYLEM
The organelle where cellular
respiration takes place.
MITOCHONDRIA
What gas do plants release
during the process of
photosynthesis?
OXYGEN
What is the chemical symbol
for carbon dioxide?
CO2
The breakdown of sugars to
make ATP in the absence of
oxygen.
FERMENTATION
The process plants use to
diffuse water from the xylem
to the palisade cells and from
open stomata.
OSMOSIS
The tissue that carries the
plant’s food.
PHLOEM
What are the products of
photosynthesis?
OXYGEN
GLUCOSE

How many did you correctly
identify?
* Parenchyma is also known as the MESOPHYLL layer.
* The vein is also known as the VASCULAR BUNDLE.
* The collenchyma is a group of cells found in the MESOPHYLL
layer as well.
