What is cell respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process in which nutrients are converted into adenosine triphosphate so that they can be used as energy for the cell.
What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process in which energy from sunlight is used to combine carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
Why do we need energy?
We need energy because it keeps us alive and functioning.
What are the two products of photosynthesis?
Two products of photosynthesis include glucose and oxygen.
What is carbon dioxide in chemical notation?
In chemical notation, carbon dioxide is CO2
Which organelle performs cell respiration?
The mitochondria/mitochondrion performs cellular respiration.
Which organelle performs photosynthesis?
The chloroplasts perform photosynthesis.
Initially, from where do plants mainly get their energy? (Contributor: John Wray Pd. 3 Hyman)
Plants get energy from mainly the sun (sunlight).
What are the three reactants of photosyntesis?
The three reactants of photosynthesis are water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight.
What is water in chemical notation?
Water in chemical notation is H2O
How does cell respiration impact the environment?
Cellular respiration benefits the environment by cycling carbon and oxygen.
What is the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle?
The carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle is the continuous movement of carbon dioxide and oxygen between living things and the environment.
What might a plant need energy for? (Contributor: John Wray Pd. 3 Hyman)
A plant would need energy for carrying out processes like photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
What is chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is a green substance that gives plants their color. (green)
What is 6 molecules of water in chemical notation?
In chemical notation, 6 molecules of water are 6H2O
What is produced from cell respiration?
Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP is produced from cell respiration.
What is produced from photosynthesis?
Why do you get hungry?
We get hungry because sometimes our body runs low on energy and nutrients and sends signals to our brain that we need more energy.
Why is sunlight important in photosynthesis?
Sunlight is important in photosynthesis because it is what provides the plant with energy.
What is glucose in chemical notation?
Glucose in chemical notation is C6H12O6
What is the difference between respiration and cellular respiration?
The word respiration means “breathing.” Breathing supplies the oxygen needed for cellular respiration. Breathing removes carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of cellular respiration. However, cellular respiration is a chemical process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food.
How does photosynthesis benefit the environment? (Hint: think about the atmosphere)
Photosynthesis benefits the environment as it produces oxygen, which keeps our atmosphere is balance.
How does chlorophyll utilize sunlight?
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses that energy to power photosynthesis, which also gives plants their green color.
What type of substance is Glucose?
Glucose is a sugar.
What is Adenosine Triphosphate? (ATP) (Accepting one of three answers for 500, 400, and 300)
500. Adenosine Triphosphate is the universal energy currency.
400. It is the energy that mitochondria use.
300. It is a type of energy.
