Stoma or Stomata
What energy source drives all life on Earth and starts the process of Photosynthesis?

What molecule is broken down in cellular respiration, similar to what you all do in the cafeteria at lunch time.
Glucose
List the reactants for photosynthesis
sunlight, water, carbon dioxide
Cuticle
What three things to plants need for photosynthesis to occur?
Sunlight, water, carbon dioxide
What is the food storage molecule made at the end of photosynthesis?
Glucose
Cellular Respiration takes place in ________ cells of our bodies?
All Cells
List the products that come out of photosynthesis
Glucose and Oxygen
Which mesophyll cells do most photsynthesis take place inside a leaf?
Palisade Mesophyll Cells
Photosynthesis occurs in the ______________ organelle of a plant?
Chloroplast
What is the food energy molecule made at the end of Cellular Respiration?
ATP
What organelle in our cells does cellular respiration take place in?
Mitochondria
What are the reactants that go into cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
The green pigment that photosynthesis uses is known as _______________?
Cholorphyll
Does most photosynthesis occur on the tops or the bottoms of a leaf?
Top
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Sunlight + Water + CO2=Glucose + Oxygen
Predict what would happen do our bodies if suddenly the mitochondria was no longer able to break down the food we eat.
We would not be able to survive, grow, or carry out the processes needed for life.
What are the products produced in cellular respiration?
Water, Carbon Dioxide, and ATP
The organelle in a leaf that contains chlorophyll is the _____________?
Chloroplast
Why is the top of a leaf darker green than the bottom of a leaf?
Function-most photosynthesis takes place on top of the leaf
Form-Palisade Mesophyll Cells are packed densely along the top of a leaf and contain large amounts of chlorophyll. Bottom of the leaf has far less chlorophyll in the spongy mesophyll cells.

Lactic Acid
How would you characterize photosynthesis vs cellular respiration? Are they more a mirrored image or the inverse of each other?
Inverse
