Photosynthesis
What do plants use sunlight to make during photosynthesis?
Food/Glucose!
Plants make a type of sugar called glucose that they use for energy.
What is the main source of energy that drives photosynthesis?
Sunlight/Grow Light!
Plants use the sun’s/grow lights energy to make their food.
What energy molecule is produced during cellular respiration?
ATP
It’s like a battery that powers the cell.
What two raw materials do plants need to start photosynthesis?
Air and water!
Plants use carbon dioxide from the air and water from the ground.
What type of energy is stored in the glucose produced by plants?
Stored energy!
Plants store energy in their food until they need it.
What is the name of the process where glucose is broken down without oxygen?
Anaerobic respiration!
It’s how cells make energy without using air.
What process splits water molecules during photosynthesis?
Splitting water/Water Splitting!
The plant breaks water apart using sunlight to help make food.
Which plant process produces oxygen as a byproduct?
Photosynthesis!
When plants make food, they also give off oxygen for us to breathe.
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?
To make energy!
It’s how cells turn food into energy they can use to work.
In which organelle does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast!
It’s like a tiny green factory inside plant cells where photosynthesis happens.
What role does stomata play in photosynthesis?
Help the plant breathe!
Stomata are tiny holes in the leaves that let air in and out.
What are the two stages of cellular respiration?
Breaking down the food and then taking the energy!
First, food is broken down, and then the cell uses it to make energy.
What molecule is produced in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
Glucose/Sugar!
It’s the sugar plants make to store energy for later.
What is the importance of plants in the energy cycle of life?
Make energy and oxygen for all living things!
Plants turn sunlight into food that animals and humans depend on.
In which part of the cell does the majority of cellular respiration occur?
The mitochondria!
It’s like a power plant inside the cell that makes energy.
