Photosynthesis
100

True or False: Photosynthesis converts sun energy into food, making energy available for plants and animals. It also makes Oxygen, which we need to breathe.

True!

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.

Where in the plant does photosynthesis occur?

What are the leaves?

100
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What are Chloroplasts?
200
This is where water enters the plants.
What are roots? or What is the ground?
200
The process cells use to take food energy and turn it into ATP.

How does increasing the amount of plants in an ecosystem effect the animals that live there? I'm looking for two things here in your answer. 

More photosynthesis means there is more oxygen for animals to breath AND there is more food for animals, which means that more animals can live in that ecosystem.

200
The pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis?
What is chlorophyll?
200

Carbon Dioxide, Water

What are the inputs (reactants) of photosynthesis?

300
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
What is the atmosphere?
300

Glucose and Oxygen

What are the inputs (reactants) of cellular respiration?

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 (products) of Photosynthesis?

400

The organelle where light is captures in a plant cell

What is the Chloroplast.

400

Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP

What are the outputs (products) of cellular respiration?

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 Massachusetts 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?
