Plants are best known for their ability to perform photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. but plants don't just make sugars; they use them, too. like animals, plants must break sugars down to fuel cellular work. in this activity, you will complete a concept map showing the interrelatedness of sugar production and sugar breakdown in a plant cell. part a - photosynthesis and respiration in plants drag the labels from the left to their correct locations in the concept map on the right. not all labels will be used.

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.
