Respiration
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Glucose and oxygen
What are the two products of photosynthesis?
Glucose and oxygen
CO2 (Carbon dioxide) and H2O (water)
Cheetahs can run up to 50-80 miles per hour! Which cell organelle must they have a lot of in their muscles?
Mitochondria
What is the name of our school mascot?
Dr. J
The MOST important product of cellular respiration, that is not released as waste, is...
ATP / Energy
What are the two reactants of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
What are the molecular formulas for glucose and oxygen?
C6H12O6 (Glucose) and O2 (Oxygen)
What two organelles do plant cells have that animal cells do not have?
Cell walls and chloroplasts
True or False: Julius West was named after a Rockville Farmer.
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Autotrophs perform photosynthesis, while heterotrophs perform cellular respiration.
False! All living things perform cellular respiration.
True or False: Only plants are able to do photosynthesis.
False! Some bacteria and algae also can do photosyntesis
How many molecules of CO2, H2O, O2, and C6H12,O6 are involved in photosynthesis and respiration reactions?
1 molecule of glucose = C6H12,O6; and 6 molecules each of CO2 (Carbon dioxide), H2O (Water), and O2 (Oxygen)
The parts of the plant that take in the two reactants of photosynthesis are?
Leaves (CO2) and roots (H2O)
What year did JWMS open?
1961
What are the 2 places inside the cell where respiration takes place?
(1) Cytoplasm and (2) Mitochondria (the primary place)
Can photosynthesis take place in the dark? Why or why not?
No, because light energy is needed to activate the reaction.
What do the little numbers mean in molecular formulas? (E.g., the 2 in CO2 and H2O)
The numbers represent the number of atoms of each element (e.g., 1 atom of carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen in CO2)
What are autotrophs and heterotrophs?
The 4 teachers who teach 7th grade science are:...
Dr. Blate, Mr. Diehl, Mrs. Freeman, Ms. Osborne
What process helps organisms generate (make) energy if there is no oxygen?
Fermentation
What is the relationship between climate change and photosynthesis?
Climate change is driven by the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels (which release CO2). Since photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere, increasing photosynthesis (e.g., by protecting forests and growing more trees) is an important means of fighting climate change.
What does the "T" and "P" stand for in ATP?
Since fish live in water and not on land, what special organ/body part do fish use to help them perform cellular respiration while living in water?
Gills
What are the names of our 4 assistant principals?
Bean, Grigsby, Kim, and Pierce
