100
The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.
What is chloroplasts.
100

This organelle is known as the "Powerhouse of the Cell"

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

Approximately what % of energy is "lost" as heat in ecosystems?

What is 90%
100
A molecule that captures sunlight?
What are pigments?
200
This is where water enters the plants.
What are roots? or What is the ground?
200

What is the difference between AEROBIC and ANAEROBIC Respiration? 

AEROBIC = with Oxygen

ANAEROBIC = without Oxygen

200

What is the effect of planting more trees in an area?

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.

200

What is the difference between an Exergonic and Endergonic reaction? 

**bonus points for providing an example of each (+100)**  

Exergonic = release energy because they are breaking bonds of molecules 

Endergonic = input of energy because they are creating bonds 

Possible Examples: Exergonic: Cellular Respiration Endergonic: Photosynthesis 

200
The pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis?
What is chlorophyll?
300

What is the equation for Photosynthesis (balanced) and what are the names of the inputs and outputs?

Sunlight + 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2   

Sunlight (light energy), Carbon Dioxide and Water (inputs)

Glucose and Oxygen (outputs)


300

What is the equation for Cellular Respiration (balanced) and what are the names of the inputs and outputs?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 = ATP + 6CO2 + 6H2O

Glucose and Oxygen (inputs) 

ATP (energy), Carbon Dioxide and Water

300

This process will cease to occur if Raleigh were to go through a drought next summer.

What is photosynthesis


300

What macromolecule LOWERS the activation energy required to begin a reaction? 

Enzymes (proteins) 

300
The city hall of the cell. It directs traffic and tells the rest of the cell what to do.
What is the nucleus?
400

Why is photosynthesis so important?

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

400
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
What are the outputs of cellular respiration?
400
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.
What is photosynthesis?
400

This is the difference between AUTOTROPHS and HETEROTROPHS

**bonus points - what are the levels of heterotrophs/consumers in an ecosystem? +200pts**

What is AUTOTROPHS are self-feeding or provide their own food and HETEROTROPHS feed on others or rely on another organism for food. 

**bonus - Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary/Apex Predator**

400

Does energy flow through a system or cycle?

**What Law of Thermodynamics tells us this is true? +200pts**

What is flows?

*1st Law of Thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed*

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

What is the cycle made by photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

The cycle that keeps the amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen fairly constant in the atmosphere, also known as the Carbon Cycle

500

If 3,500 Kcal is available to the producers in this ecosystem, how much energy will be obtained by the tertiary consumer? 

*show your work*

3.5 Kcal 

3,500 -(x.10)> 350 -(x.10)> 35 -(x.10)> 3.5

Producer -> 1 Consumer -> 2 Consumer -> 3 Consumer

500

Do the atoms that make up carbon dioxide, water, and sugar flow or cycle through a system? 

**bonus - Provide evidence +500** 

What is cycle?

**the same inputs of photosynthesis are the outputs of cellular respiration and vice versa**
