Photosynthesis Basics
This is the main function of photosynthesis
What is making food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water?
This process allows plants to use glucose for energy
What is cellular respiration?
Even processed bread originally came from this.
What are plants?
Photosynthesis happens in this organelle (part of the cell).
What are chloroplasts?
These organisms break down dead matter.
What are decomposers?
This gas is taken IN during photosynthesis
What is carbon dioxide?
Cellular respiration happens at this time in plants
What is all the time?
The matter in a cheeseburger originally came from these sources.
True or False: Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells.
What is true?
Decomposers are important because they do this.
Recycle matter so it can be reused
or eat food that other organisms cannot
This gas is NOT needed for photosynthesis to occur.
What is oxygen?
True or False: Cellular respiration only happens in animals.
What is false?
Animals depend on photosynthesis because it provides these two things.
What are food molecules and oxygen?
This organelle is where cellular respiration occurs.
What are mitochondria?
Grass and trees are examples of this type of organism.(producers, consumers, or decomposers)
What are producers?
This substance provides the carbon atoms that become part of glucose.
What is carbon dioxide?
One similarity between cellular respiration in plants and animals.
What is both break down glucose to release energy?
or both occur in mitochondria
or both produce energy
Plants store extra sugar in this molecule
What is starch or cellulose?
A plant can still survive in winter without leaves for this reason
What is it uses stored sugars/starch and still performs cellular respiration?
Cows and deer are examples of this type of organism.
(producers, consumers, decomposers)
What are consumers?
Sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis because it provides...
What is energy to rearrange atoms?
True or False: Plants do not need mitochondria if they have chloroplasts.
What is false?
What happens to sugars made during photosynthesis?
(3 things)
What is they are used for energy, growth, or stored as starch?
True or False: A plant always needs soil to get its nutrients.
What is false?
Cellular respiration - energy, carbon dioxide, and water
