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)
How can deforestation impact our atmosphere?
Less plants to turn Carbon Dioxide into 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 the one reactant in photosynthesis that isn't involved at all in the process of cellular respiration?
The Sun
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
What is the Chemical equation for Glucose
C2H12O6
What type of energy is stored in glucose?
Chemical energy
The pigment that absorbs light during photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
True or False: Plants undergo cellular respiration
True
One of these processes stores energy, and the other releases it. Which of the two processes stores energy?
Photosynthesis
In Glucose C6H12O6 how many total molecules are there?
24
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 name of the energy molecule that is produced in cellular respiration?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Why are plants called producers and us humans are called consumers?
Plants make their own food, and we have to eat food.
What is the definition of energy?
The ability to do work.
