Photosynthesis
100

The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.

What are chloroplasts?

100
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells.
What are mitochondria?
100
It converts food into energy, allowing us to think, breathe, and move. Basically, we would not be alive without it.
What is cellular respiration?
100
A molecule that captures sunlight?
What are pigments?
100
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What are Chloroplasts?
200

This property is what allows water molecules to stick together and travel from roots to leaves in plants.

What is water cohesion?

200
The process cells use to take food energy and turn it into ATP.
What is Cellular Respiration?
200
Increased trees means that there is more photosynthesis occurring. More photosynthesis means there is more food for animals, which means that more animals can live.
What is the effect of planting more trees in an area?
200
The pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis?
What is chlorophyll?
200
Carbon Dioxide, Water
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
300

This is where plants get their carbon dioxide.

What is the atmosphere?

300

The reactants of cellular respiration. 

What are glucose and oxygen?

300
The cycle that keeps the amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen fairly constant in the atmosphere
What is the cycle made by photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
300
The city hall of the cell. It directs traffic and tells the rest of the cell what to do.
What is the nucleus?
300

Glucose and Oxygen.

What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?

400

The products of cellular respiration.

What are carbon dioxide (6CO2), water (6H2O), and 36 ATP?

400
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.
What is photosynthesis?
400
Does energy flow through a system or cycle?
What is flows?
400
It is not a physical input to photosynthesis, but is required for the reaction to proceed. Because of this, we write this form of energy above the arrow in the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
500
The holes in the bottom of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf.
What are stomata?
500
The energy currency of the cell
What is ATP
500
This process will screech to a halt if Sacramento goes into a major drought in the summer?
What is photosynthesis?
500
Do the atoms that make up carbon dioxide, water, and sugar flow or cycle through a system?
What is cycle?
500
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Sugar + Oxygen
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
