Photosynthesis
This is the process by which most producers use sunlight to make food.
What is photosynthesis?
This process converts glucose into ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
What is the first stage of cellular respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm.
What is glycolysis?
This is the chemical formula for glucose.
What is C₆H₁₂O₆?
These organisms can perform photosynthesis.
What are plants, algae, and some bacteria?
This molecule is the main energy carrier of the cell.
What is ATP?
This stage of photosynthesis takes place in the thylakoid membrane.
What are the light-dependent reactions?
These are the reactants of photosynthesis.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
his pigment absorbs light energy during photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
These organisms perform cellular respiration.
What are plant, animals, and all eukaryotic cells?
This stage of photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide to make glucose.
What is the Calvin cycle (light-independent reaction)?
These are the products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and oxygen?
These tiny openings in leaves allow gases to enter and exit. The location of the Light-independent reaction.
What are stomata?
This organelle is where Cellular Respiration occurs.
What is the Mitochondria?
This stage of cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
What is the Krebs cycle?
Approximately how many ATP molecules are produced during the electron transport chain?
What is 32–34 ATP?
This is one major reason photosynthesis is important to ecosystems.
What is it provides oxygen (and food/energy)?
If a cell suddenly runs out of oxygen, which stage of cellular respiration would stop first, and how would this affect ATP production?
The electron transport chain; ATP production would drop significantly because most ATP is made there the most.
Explain why glycolysis can occur even when oxygen is not present, but the electron transport chain cannot.
Glycolysis does not require oxygen, while the electron transport chain uses oxygen in it's reaction.
A decrease in photosynthesis occurs in an ecosystem. Predict two effects this would have on cellular respiration in organisms within that ecosystem.
There would be less glucose and oxygen available, leading to reduced ATP production during cellular respiration. Can lead to death!
