What Factors affect the rate of Photosynthesis?
Light intensity, carbon dioxide centration, temperature
What is Glycolysis
When glucose is broken down into smaller molecules in the cytoplasm
What is Energy
The ability to cause a change in matter
Why are plants green?
Because plants absorb other colors and reflect green
What is Cellular Respiration?
The process where cells break down food molecules and release the energy they contain
What happens in human muscle cells?
Lactic acid fermatation
What is An-aerobic Respiration?
It doesn't require oxygen
What is Fermentation?
Releasing energy from food in the absence of oxygen
What is Krebs Cycle? -Three things:
1-It produces a large amount of energy
2-It happens in the mitochondria
3-Second stage of cellular respiratory
What happens to the sugar produced during photosynthesis?
Some sugar molecules are made into other compounds
Alcoholic Fermentation needs -- or --- to happen
yeast or bacteria
What is Aerobic Respiration?
It requires oxygen
What is the Electron Transport Chain?
It produces most of the energy in cellular respiration by using oxygen
What is Light Independent Reactions?
Steps of photosynthesis that does not need sunlight
What is Light Dependent Reactions?
Steps of photosynthesis that directly involve sunlight
What is Choloroplasts?
The original where photosynthesis takes place
What is Autotrophs?
An organism that makes its own food (producer)
What is ATP?
What happens in ATP?
Adeno sine triphosphate
it's an organic compound that provides energy to drive many processes in the living things.
What is Chlorphyll?
The main photosynthetic pigment in chloroplast
What are pigments?
Chemical compounds that absorb light
What is Heterotrophs?
An organism that cannot make it's own food (consumer)
What is Photosynthesis?
The process where plants use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugar
Light dependent reactions vs light in-dependent reactions
In-dependent light reactions don't
Photosynthesis vs. Cellular Respiration
Cellular Respiration:
-releases energy
-creates H2O, CO2, ATP
-Takes in O2 and glucose
Photosynthesis:
-Takes in energy
-creates O2 and glucose
-takes in H2O, CO2, light
What role do plants and photosynthesis play in climate change?
Plants take carbon-but the more carbon in the atmosphere, the less the plants take in (?)
