Before Photosynthesis
The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.
What are chloroplasts.
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells.
What are mitochondria?
It converts food into energy, allowing us to think, breathe, and move.
What is cellular respiration?
A molecule that captures sunlight?
What are pigments?
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What are Chloroplasts?
This is where water enters the plants.
What are roots? or What is the ground?
The process cells use to take food energy and turn it into ATP.
What is Cellular Respiration?
What is the effect of planting more trees in an area?
More trees = more photosynthesis = more food = more animals can live.
The pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis?
What is chlorophyll?
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide, Water
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
What is the atmosphere?
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
The cycle that keeps the amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen fairly constant in the atmosphere
photosynthesis and cellular respiration
The city hall of the cell. It directs traffic and tells the rest of the cell what to do.
What is the nucleus?
What are the products of Photosynthesis?
Glucose and Oxygen.
Why is photosynthesis so important?
Photosynthesis converts sun energy into food. It also makes Oxygen.
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.
What is photosynthesis?
Does energy flow through a system or cycle?
What is flows through a system?
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?
The holes in the bottom of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf.
What are stomata?
The energy currency of the cell
What is ATP
This process will stop if Chatsworth goes into a major drought in the summer?
What is photosynthesis?
Do the atoms that make up carbon dioxide, water, and sugar FLOW OR CYCLE through a system?
What is cycle?
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Sugar + Oxygen
