Questions and CORRECT Answers
metabolism - CORRECT ANSWER - the sum of all chemical reactions occurring an
organism
matter - CORRECT ANSWER - atoms and molecules (of which all body parts are made)
atoms - CORRECT ANSWER - smallest unit of an element that retain all of the
characteristics of that element
molecule - CORRECT ANSWER - group of two or more atoms bound together
heterotroph - CORRECT ANSWER - organisms that obtain energy from foods by
ingesting or absorbing them
autotroph - CORRECT ANSWER - organisms that produce their own food from smaller
molecules
photosynthesis - CORRECT ANSWER - use of sunlight by autotrophs in order to build
biological molecules
energy - CORRECT ANSWER - the ability to do work
work - CORRECT ANSWER - a change in an objects position or physical form
potential energy - CORRECT ANSWER - stored energy, found in food
, light-dependent reactions - CORRECT ANSWER - light reactions
light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) - CORRECT ANSWER - dark reactions
