Gills
True or False: Julius West was named after a Rockville Farmer.
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Autotrophs perform photosynthesis, while heterotrophs perform cellular respiration.
False! All living things perform cellular respiration.
TRUE OR FALSE: Only plants are able to do photosynthesis.
False! Some bacteria and algae do photosynthesis
The parts of the plant that take in the two reactants of photosynthesis are?

Cheetahs can run up to 50-80 miles per hour! Which cell organelle must they have a lot of in their muscles?
Mitochondria
What year did JW open?
1961
What are the 2 places inside the cell where respiration takes place?
Mitochondria and Cytosplasm
TRUE OR FALSE: Even on cloudy days or at night, plants still perform photosynthesis because it needs food to survive
False! Plants need energy to start photosynthesis!
Why do leaves change color in the fall?
Chlorophylls start to disappear/die off

Ms. Osborne, Ms. Symes, and Ms. Martinez
What process help organisms generate (make) energy if there is no oxygen?
Fermentation
TRUE OR FALSE: Plants and animals depend on each other, since photosynthesis and cellular respiration are considered similar processes.
False! OPPOSITE processes!
TRUE OR FALSE: Venus flytraps and pitcher plants are considered heterotrophs because they eat animals.
False! they still photosynthesize to make their food so they are still autotrophs!
