Cellular Respiration
What is the most efficient way for cells to harvest energy?
100
Chemical energy
What is light energy converted to in photosynthesis?
100
gives oxygen, etc.
Why is photosynthesis vital for plants?
100
both.
Cellular respiration occur in which cells, eukaryotic or prokaryotic?
100
The visible surface of the leaf.
What is the epidermis?
200
ATP.
What is the energy converted into?
200
fuel.
Chemical energy can be later release to ____ the organism's acitvities.
200
In a cell's mitochondria.
Where does cellular respiration take place?
200
Lower epidermis has holes, (stomata)
What are some differences between the lower and upper epidermis?
300
The most efficient way for cells to harvest energy stored in food is through cellular respiration, a catabolic pathway for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
What is cellular respiration?
300
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities.
What is photosynthesis?
300
carbohydrates, fats, glucose, and proteins
Name at least 2 things used in Cellular respiration Ex. Carbohydrates.
300
Glucose; sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, soil
What is the plants food called, and what is made out of?
300
Pith. (not pis)
What gives the leaf strength and protection?

The Citric Acid Cycle begins after the two molecules produced in glycolysis are converted to a slightly different compound. Through a series of intermediate steps, several compounds capable of storing "high energy" electrons are produced along with two ATP molecules. The Citric Acid Cycle occurs only when oxygen is present but it doesn't use oxygen directly.
Name the second stage of cellular respiration, and what happens during that stage.
400
stomata, epidermis openings
The guard cell protects the ________ and controls the ________________.
400
Xylem- tubes that bring water from the roots. Phloem- Transportation of food and nutrients such as sugar from leaves to storage organs and growing parts of plant, moves up or down.
What is the difference between the Xylem and the Phloem?
400
chloroplast, gives leaf its green color.
Where is the chlorophyll stored, what is special about the chlorophyll?
500
Glycolysis: Glycolysis means "splitting sugars." Glucose is split into two molecules. In the process, two molecules of ATP, two molecules of pyruvic acid and two electron are produced. Glycolysis can occur with or without oxygen. In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration. Without oxygen, glycolysis allows cells to make small amounts of ATP. The Citric Acid Cycle: The Citric Acid Cycle begins after the two molecules produced in glycolysis are converted to a slightly different compound. Through a series of intermediate steps, several compounds capable of storing "high energy" electrons are produced along with two ATP molecules. The Citric Acid Cycle occurs only when oxygen is present but it doesn't use oxygen directly. Electron Transport: Electron Transport requires oxygen directly. The electron transport "chain" is a series of electrons in the membrane of the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells. Through a series of reactions, the "high energy" electrons are passed to oxygen. In the process ATP is formed.
Name all three stages, and what happens in those stages.

6h2O+6cO2=c6h12o6+6O2
What is the photosynthesis equation?
500
adenosine triphosphate
What does ATP stand for?
500
First the chlorophyll traps the sunlight in the leaves, creates energy for the plants.
What is the first step of photosynthesis?
500
Cuticle - prevent water loss, transparent waxy surface Upper Epidermis- visible surface. Lower Epidermis- visible surface, holes called stomata Chloroplast – chrollypll, makes the leaf green, stored here Stomata- where carbon dioxide and co2 go in and out. Guard Cell- protect stomata, controls epidermis openings. Pith- wraps around for strength and protection Xylem- tubes that bring water from the roots. Phloem- Transportation of food and nutrients such as sugar from leaves to storage organs and growing parts of plant, moves up or down. Chloroplast – chrollypll, makes the leaf green, stored here
