Photosynthesis
How many stages are in Photosynthesis? What are they?
2, Capturing the sun's energy and converting it into food.
How many stages are in cellular respiration? What are they?
2, Cells break down glucose/food molecules and uses oxygen to release the energy.
What are three examples of fermentation?
Bread, pickles, wine, beer, etc
What does cell division allow cells to do?
Cells can grow, repair themselves and reproduce.
Why do all living things need photosynthesis?
Autotrophs need photosynthesis to produce food, we eat the food that autotrophs produce.
What is respiration and why is it important in Cellular Respiration?
It is breathing or getting oxygen. Cellular respiration requires oxygen to release the energy.
From what type of cells is energy released?
food
How many phases are there in a cell cycle, what are they?
3, interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis.
What captures the sunlight's energy? what color is it and why?
The chloroplasts capture the sunlight. They are green because of the chlorophyll.
Where does cellular respiration occur?
In the cytoplasm and the mitochondrion.
What is not needed for fermentation? Because it is not needed, what happens?
Oxygen, it doesn't produce as much energy
What happens during the cell cycle?
a cell grows, prepares for division, then divides into two "daughter cells"
What is the photosynthesis equation?
Light energy+6CO2+6H2O=C6H12O6+6O2
What is the cellular respiration equation?
C6H12O6+ 6O2=6CO2+6H2O+energy
Where does alcoholic fermentation occur? What does it produce?
it produces CO2, alcohol and energy. it occurs in yeast and other single-celled organisms.
What are the stages of mitosis?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
Describe stage one and two of Photosynthesis.
Water and light energy is absorbed, while oxygen is going out. Then Hydrogen and energy are created. During this time carbon dioxide is absorbed and sugars are produced.
Describe the two stages of cellular respiration.
Stage one- in the cytoplasm glucose and other food particles are broken down and release a small amount of energy.
Stage two- in the mitocondria the smaller molecules react, produce carbon dioxide, water and large amounts of energy
Why does lactic acid fermentation occur? How does it happen in your muscles?
When your muscles don't get enough oxygen fast enough. Your muscles break down glucose without oxygen to make energy.
What happens during all the stages of mitosis?
Prophase-Nucli condense and move to opposite sides
Metaphase-Each chromosome attaches at its centromere
Anaphase-centromere splits, chromatids now are chromosomes
Telophase-chromosomes attach to opposite sides and new nuculus starts to form.
