Photosynthesis
Name the products of photosynthesis
Glucose and oxygen
Name the reactants of cellular respiration
Glucose and oxygen
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Each process uses the products of the other as it's reactants (flipped equations)
Using morphology, what does prefix an- and root aero mean in the word anaerobic (BOTH definitions)?
an- means not or without, aero means air (or oxygen)
What is the ultimate energy source of most ecosystems?
The sun
The organelle where photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplast
The organelle where aerobic cellular respiration occurs
Mitochrondria
What organism does both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Producers
What is anaerobic respiration also called?
Fermentation
What type of energy does the sun provide for photosynthesis?
Solar or light energy
The main purpose of photosynthesis
To convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose
The main purpose of cellular respiration
To convert chemical energy from glucose (food) into usable energy (ATP)
What gas is released during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration?
Oxygen
Where does anaerobic respiration occur in the cell?
Cytoplasm
What type of energy is stored in glucose?
Chemical energy
The pigment that absorbs light during photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
What is required for aerobic cellular respiration but not anaerobic cellular respiration?
Oxygen
One of these processes stores energy, and the other releases it. Which of the two processes stores energy?
Photosynthesis
What type of anaerobic respiration occurs in muscle cells during intense exercise?
Lactic acid fermentation
Why do we need to convert glucose into ATP?
ATP is the form of energy our bodies are actually able to use (the "energy currency").
The equation of photosynthesis
6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂
The equation of cellular respiration
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + Energy (ATP)
What is the full name of the energy molecule that is produced in cellular respiration?
Adenosine Triphosphate
What does yeast do to make bread rise during alcoholic fermentation?
Releases carbon dioxide
What is the definition of energy?
The ability to do work.
