Cellular Respiration
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
CO2 + H2O --> O2 + C6H12O6
This molecule is known as the “energy currency” of the cell because it provides usable energy for cell processes.
What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Describe the connection between the following vocabulary terms:
Heterotroph and Autotroph
Heterotrophs eat autotrophs to get sugar/energy.
In a well-designed experiment, this group serves as a baseline for comparison and does not receive the experimental treatment.
What is the control group
What are the stages of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
Kreb's Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
Electron Transport Chain
What are the stages of photosynthesis
Light Dependent Reactions
Calvin Cycle
Organisms that make their own food using energy from sunlight or chemicals are called this.
What is an autotroph
Describe the connection between the following vocabulary terms:
Chloroplast and Oxygen
Chloroplast produce oxygen during photosynthesis (the light dependent reactions)
All living things maintain a stable internal environment, a process known by this term.
What is homeostasis
This stage of cellular respiration breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate and produces a small amount of ATP — and it happens in the cytoplasm of the cell.
What is glycolysis
This process uses energy from sunlight to split water molecules, releasing oxygen and sending high-energy electrons through an electron transport chain.
What is the light dependent reactions
When energy is passed from one trophic level to the next in an energy pyramid, about what percentage of energy is transferred upward.
What is 10% (10% Rule)
Describe the connection between the following vocabulary terms:
Bioenergetics and ATP
Bioenergetic reactions work together to produce ATP, which is used by organisms as energy
These large biological molecules are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and provide quick energy to cells.
What are carbohydrates
When oxygen levels drop, muscle cells can keep making small amounts of ATP by switching to this process — something nerve cells can’t do, which is why they stop functioning without oxygen.
What is (lactic acid) fermentation/anaerobic respiration.
During photosynthesis, this gas is taken in by plants and is the main source for building glucose molecules during the light-independent reactions.
What is carbon dioxide
How do we get energy from ATP?
By breaking the high-energy chemical bonds between the last two phosphates in ATP
Describe the connection between the following vocabulary terms:
Autotroph and Cellular Respiration
Autotrophs do cellular respiration to turn sugar made in photosynthesis into usable energy.
This organelle is often called the “post office” of the cell because it modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or use within the cell. A defect here could cause proteins to be sent to the wrong location.
What is the golgi apparatus
A scientist notes that by placing cells into a sugar solution, foam starts to appear. The cells do not possess a green color. What might be being produced by the cells?
Carbon dioxide
This is the overall energy transformation that occurs during photosynthesis — it converts this type of energy into this type of energy.
What is light energy to chemical energy
In an energy pyramid, the amount of available energy decreases at higher levels because of this biological process that converts food into energy for movement, heat, and life functions.
What is cellular respiration
Describe the connection between the following vocabulary terms:
Mitochondria and Light Dependent Reactions
The Light Dependent Reactions create the energy that is stored in glucose which is broken down during cellular respiration in the mitochondria.
A biologist tests the effect of pH on enzyme activity and collects data at pH 4, 6, and 8. To make her conclusion more reliable, she should increase this aspect of her experiment.
What is use more trials (larger sample size)
