    List # 1 – due Friday, April 5th


    1. Photosynthesis: The process by which plants and some other organisms capture the
    energy in sunlight and use it to make food.
    2. Chloroplast: A structure in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures
    energy from sunlight and uses it to produce food.
    3. Chlorophyll: a green pigment, present in all green plants responsible for the absorption
    of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
    4. Eukaryotic: Cells that have a distinct, membrane-bound nucleus
    5. Prokaryotic: Cells without a nucleus
    6. Oxidize/oxidation: A chemical change in which a substance combines with oxygen
    (example: iron oxidizes, forming rust)
    7. Cellular respiration: The process by which all cells break down simple food molecules
    to release the energy they contain; process where organisms take in oxygen and release
    carbon dioxide.
    8. Organelle: A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell.
    9. Ribosomes: A small grain-like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are
    made.
    10. Mitochondria: Rod-shaped cell structures that convert energy in food molecules to
    energy the cell can use to carry out its functions.

    List #2 – due Tuesday, April 9th

    much of what types of foods to eat.
    12. Carbohydrate: a nutrient that provides energy, typically made of sugars or starches

    energy in the body.
    14. Proteins: a nutrient that is especially for the growth and repair of body tissue; building
    blocks
    15. Glucose: a simple carbohydrate (sugar) that is an important energy source in living
    organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates
    16. Basal Metabolic Rate: the rate at which the body uses energy while at rest to keep vital
    functions going, such as breathing and keeping warm
    17. Calories: a unit used in measuring the amount of energy food provides when eaten and
    digested.
    18. Metabolism: the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to
    maintain life
    19. Cellular respiration: The chemical process that generates most of the energy in the
    cell, supplying molecules needed to make the metabolic reactions
    20. Consumption: The using up of a resource.
    21. Toxic Substance: Any chemical or mixture that may be harmful to the environment and
    to human health if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin.
    22. Drug: A medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or
