Column 1
Where does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplast
What gas do plants take in for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide.
What gas do plants release?
Oxygen
What is the basic unit of life?
Cells.
What is the green pigment in plants called?
Chlorophyll.
What is the difference between anaerobic & aerobic cellular respiration?
Aerobic is when oxygen is present and Anaerobic is when oxygen is not present.
What organelle does cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
Where do plants get water for photosynthesis?
From the roots.
What do chloroplast contain that helps capture sunlight?
Chlorophyll.
What type of cell has chloroplasts?
Plant cells.
Why is chlorophyll important?
It absorbs sunlight.
What type of organism cannot make its own food.
Heterotroph.
What happens during fermentation?
Energy is made without oxygen.
What is the role of oxygen in photosynthesis?
It helps break down glucose to release energy.
What happens if there is no oxygen for a cell?
It switches to anaerobic respiration.
What is photosynthesis?
process by which organisms capture light energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
What is needed for cellular respiration?
What are the products of cellular respiration?
CO2, water and ATP
What are the three main reactants of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight
What happens to energy when glucose is broken down?
It is released and stored as ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
The process by cells convert chemical energy stored in various compounds such as sugars
An organism that detains it's energy from an abiotic source is what?
autotroph
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
One makes glucose/oxygen and the other uses them.
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + water + sunlight TO glucose + oxygen.
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
Glucose + oxygen TO carbon dioxide + water + ATP
