Cell Structure
This organelle is found only in plants and contains chlorophyll for performing photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
What is the primary energy source for most food chains/webs on earth?
The Sun
How plants make their own food using sunlight and carbon dioxide and water.
Photosynthesis
How plants and animals create energy by using sugars and Oxygen
What is a producer?
A plant. Something that produces/makes it's own food.
This type of organelle is found in plants and animals and is where cellular respiration occurs.
Mitochondria
What do the arrows on a food chain/web represent?
Flow of Energy/Energy Flow
Chlorophyll
Form of Energy created by cellular respiration
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
What is a consumer?
Something that has to eat other things (plants or animals) to get energy and to survive.
These organelles hold water or other substances in both plant and animal cells.
What are the chemicals after the arrow in a chemical equation called?
Products
Gas that animals exhale and plants use for photosynthesis.
Carbon Dioxide
Mitochondria
What is a decomposer?
An organism that breaks down dead organisms (examples, mushrooms, larvae, insects, bacteria and more)
The organelle that controls the flow of molecules into and out of the cell. Found in both plant and animal cells
Cell membrane
What are the chemicals before the arrow in a chemical equation called?
Reactants
Sugar produced by photosynthesis process
Glucose
What is created during cellular respiration?
The Sun
Strong outer organelle that gives structure to their cells. Found only in plant cells.
Cell Wall
Which of the following is the correct chemical formula for photosynthesis?
6C02 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 +6O2
or
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -->6CO2 + 6H2O
6C02 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Chemical equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O -->C6H12O6 + 6O2
Yes. Cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria so it does not require sunlight like photosynthesis does.
If a frog eats a fly and it is shown as a food chain/web which way should the energy arrow point? From the frog to the fly or from the fly to the frog?
From the fly to the frog. Arrows show the flow of energy within a food chain or food web.
