What is the basic unit of life?
Cells.
This organelle can be likened to "solar panels" that capture energy from the sun:
Chloroplasts
Where is cellular respiration taking place?
Mitochondria
Why do plants do photosynthesis?
To make glucose or "food"
True or false: a fish is a living thing that is unicellular.
False: a fish is a living thing that is MULTICELLULAR.
What type of cell is round and has many organelles?
An animal cell.
What part of the cell controls what goes in and out?
Cell membrane
What gas do cells need to perform cellular respiration?
Oxygen
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Glucose and oxygen.
Name the 2 organelles found only in plant cells:
Chloroplasts & cell wall
What type of cell is often rectangular and more structured?
Plant cell.
Why don't animal cells have chloroplasts?
Because animals do not carry out photosynthesis.
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide, water, ATP energy
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, water, sunlight.
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis connected?
Photosynthesis releases the oxygen that is needed to carry out cellular respiration. Cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide that is needed for plant cells to carry out photosynthesis.
What does the H stand for in GRROUCHE?
Homeostasis
Which organelle contains DNA and controls the cell's activities?
Nucleus
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?
To convert glucose into useable energy. (To make ATP energy).
Why don't root cells have chloroplasts?
Because they are underground and unable to capture sunlight.
What is the jelly-like substance that fills the inside of a cell and holds the organelles in place?
Cytoplasm
Why did our gummy bear shrink when placed in very salty water?
The gummy bear shrank because water molecules flowed toward the area with high levels of solute. Meaning, water molecules left the gummy bear out into the surrounding salt water in order to reach equilibrium, leaving the gummy bear smaller.
If a cell membrane is like a security guard, letting things in and out of a cell, what would a mitochondria be compared to?
_______________
Which characteristic of GRROUCHE relates to cellular respiration?
All living things do cellular respiration because all living things OBTAIN ENERGY.
Why do scientists believe that planting more trees help slow down climate change?
Because plants take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
What is the name for organisms that make their own food?
Autotrophs.
