Photosynthesis; The process of converting light energy to chemical energy and
storing it in the bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants.
Substrate; the substance on which an enzyme acts
Cellular respiration; the process by which cells produce energy from carbohydrates; atmospheric oxygen combines with
glucose to form water and carbon dioxide
Aerobic respiration; form of cellular respiration that requires oxygen to breathe. Ex. Krebs cycle
Phloem; The tissue that conducts food (sugars, amino acids, and mineral nutrients) in vascular plants
Phototropism; Growth of organisms in response to light.
Gravitropism; Upward growth of plant parts, against gravity, is called "negative gravitropism", and downward growth of roots is called "positive gravitropism".
Joint; A place where two or more bones meet. Ex. Ball-and-socket joint, Pivot joint, Hinge joint, Gliding Joint, and Saddle joint
Spinal cord; a column of nerve tissue running from the base of the brain through the vertebral column
Brain; The mass of nerve tissue that is the main control center of the nervous system
storing it in the bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants.
