Reactants
What is a Reactant?
A substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction/What goes in.
What is a Product?
A substance that is created during a reaction/What comes out.
What is the source of energy that powers photosynthesis?
Sunlight.
What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
To extract chemical energy (ATP) from glucose that the cell can use to function.
True or False: All living organisms can use photosynthesis.
False: Only plants can photosynthesize.
On which side of the equation can you locate the reactants?
Left side.
On which side of the equation can you locate the products?
Right side.
Where in the cell does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast.
Where in the cell does cellular respiration take place in eukaryotic (multicellular) organisms like plants and animals?
Mitochondria.
True or False: All living organisms use cellular respiration.
True
What are the reactants for photosynthesis?
6CO2 (6 Carbon Dioxide Molecules) and 6H20 (6 Water Molecules).
What are the products for photosynthesis?
What is the name of the green pigment that helps plants attract sunlight for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll.
Where in the cell does cellular respiration take place in prokaryotic (unicellular) organisms like bacteria?
Cytoplasm.
Why are humans useful to plants when it comes to the process of photosynthesis?
Human exhale carbon dioxide which is an important ingredient for photosynthesis to occur.
What are the reactants for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 (1 Glucose Molecule) and 6O2 (6 Oxygen Molecules).
What are the products for cellular respiration?
6CO2 (6 Carbon Dioxide Molecules), 6H2O (6 Water Molecules), and ATP (usable chemical energy).
What is the purpose of photosynthesis?
To make glucose (sugar).
What is cellular respiration called when it uses oxygen?
Aerobic Respiration.
Which produces more ATP: Aerobic or Anaerobic Respiration?
Aerobic Respiration
How many atoms are there total in the reactants for photosynthesis? How many atoms are there total in the reactants for cellular respiration? (Hint: The answer is the same for both).
36 atoms
How many atoms are there total in the products for photosynthesis? How many atoms are there total in the products for cellular respiration? (Hint: The answer is the same for both).
36 atoms.
Why is photosynthesis important to humans?
It creates breathable oxygen and provides the ultimate source of energy in the food chain.
What is cellular respiration called when it does NOT use oxygen?
Anaerobic Respiration/Fermantation.
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine Triphosphate.
