Photosynthesis and Energy
These are the three main "inputs" or reactants a plant needs to perform photosynthesis.
What are Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Sunlight.
This gas is a necessary input for cellular respiration and is breathed in by humans.
What is oxygen.
This is our key model idea that talks about matter and it's principals.
What is matter can not be created or destroyed?
This is the smallest unit of matter that makes up everything.
What is an atom?
Plants covert light energy into this what?
What is glucose?
This is the organelle (structure in a cell) that is the power house or where cellular respiration occurs.
What are mitochondria?
These organisms (like fungi and bacteria) break down dead matter and return nutrients to the soil.
What is a decomposer?
When a plant grows, most of its new "body" mass actually comes from this gas.
What is CO2?
This green object is responsible for capturing light energy.
What are chloroplasts?
Unlike photosynthesis which stores energy, cellular respiration does this to energy.
What is releases enger?
In a food web, the arrows represent the flow of these two things.
What are matter and energy?
These are the three types of atoms found in glucose.
What are Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen?
Why do plants perform photosynthesis?
What is to provide food for growth and survival. (3 pathways)
These are the two main waste products (outputs) of cellular respiration.
What are CO2 and H2O?
This is the process by which Carbon moves from the atmosphere into living organisms.
What is photosynthesis?
This term describes a group of two or more atoms.
What is a molecule?
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
What is Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light = C6H12O6 + O2
This is the specific sugar molecule broken down during respiration to provide fuel.
What is glucose?
If a wooden log is burned, most of its original mass is released into the air as this.
What are Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapor?
Explain what happens to the atoms of a reactant during a chemical reaction.
What is rearranging into new substances?
