This is another name for a heterotroph
What is a consumer
100
This type of organism is able to do cellular respiration
What are plants and animals?
100
This organelle is vital to the process of photosynthesis
What is the chloroplast?
100
Give the equation for cellular respiration
Glucose (C6H12O6) + Oxygen (O2) -> Carbon Dioxide (CO2) + Water (H2O) + Energy (ATP)

Which anaerobic process is responsible for the cheese I eat during lunch?
What is fermentation?
200
Give an example of an autotroph
What is a plant/tree/shrub/algae/moss/etc
200
Where does glycolysis occur?
What is in the cytoplasm
200
This green molecule, found in the photosystems of the light-dependent reaction, is used to absorb light and energize electrons.
What is chlorophyll
200
The oxygen/carbon cycle helps to cycle which two molecules through the environment?
Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen
200
How did I get the energy from my breakfast cereal from the sun?
Plants convert sunlight into sugar -> plants (grains) and sugar are used in cereal
300
This type of organism uses light to create its own energy
What is a photoautotroph
300
This stage of cellular respiration produces the most ATP from the process, about 30-32 in total.
What is the electron transport chain
300
This process of photosynthesis breaks water to provide electrons to a series of proteins.
What is the light-dependent reactions
300
This gas is a byproduct of photosynthesis
What is oxygen (O2)
300
Both plants and animals are known to do photosynthesis. Why don't plants produce a lot of CO2 like we do?
Plants reuse the CO2 in photosynthesis, so less is produced
400
Are decomposers heterotrophs or autotrophs? Why?
Heterotrophs because they get their energy from other decaying organisms
400
This stage of cellular respiration is considered to be an anaerobic form of respiration.
What is glycolysis
400
This process within photosynthesis converts inorganic CO2 into organic molecules like glucose
What is the Calvin Cycle
400
Which equation from the ones below would occur in the interior of a mitochondria?
A C6H12O6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O
B CO2 + H2O -> C6H12O6 + O2
A
400
I just picked up this plant from the store. How well will it be able to produce its own energy? Why?
Not well; no chlorophyll/chloroplast = no photosynthesis or sugar production
500
What level of organism would the snake be in this energy pyramid?
What is a tertiary consumer? (Also accepting heterotroph)
500
The energy provided to form ATP within the electron transport chain comes from the flow of these ions through the ATP synthase.
What is hydrogen
500
Give an example of a possible method to measure the rate of photosynthesis in a plant
Measure production of oxygen
Measure removal of CO2
Measure sugar content in plant
500
This is the location of stored energy in a molecule of Adenosine Triphosphate
What are the phosphate bonds (Specifically the third phosphate bond)
500
What is energy? Why do I need it?
Energy is the ability to do work. It is needed for chemical reactions, movement, body function, etc
