Photosynthesis: pg. 303
Animals are called “heterotrophs” because they rely on food energy made by plants
Plants are called “autotrophs” because they can produce their own food through a process called photosynthesis.
1.
Define Photosynthesis:
2.
Photo means , and synthesis means .

Gas Production and Cellular Respiration in Plants (pg. 305)
Cellular respiration is a process that all plant and animal cells undergo to produce energy for the activities that cells undergo (ex. Active transport, growth, reproduction). All cells use glucose and break it down to produce energy.
1.
Cellular Respiration takes place in which organelle of the cell?
2. In cellular respiration, and are converted by the mitochondria into what 3 products: a.
b.
c.
