Energy Flow
What is the name of the chemical reaction that provides all living organisms with energy?
Cellular Respiration
What energy drives the process of photosynthesis?
SUNLIGHT
Name the simple sugar that is broken down during cellular respiration to release energy
Glucose
Plants both photosynthesize and do ceullular respiration. When do plants perform cellular respiration?
Plants respire all the time (day and night) to meet energy needs; photosynthesis occurs only in light
What is the main goal of Cellular Respiration?
To make ATP!
In which cell organelle does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplasts
What is the purpose of cellular respiration for living cells?
To release chemical energy from food into usable ATP
What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
They have opposite reactions
What type of heat transfer is when the sunlight reachs a plant.
Radiation
What pigment captures light energy in plants?
Chlorophyll
REACTANTS needed for Cellular Respiration to occur.
Glucose + Oxygen
Photosynthesis produces a gas that is used in cellular respiration. Name that gas.
Oxygen
Write the chemical form (simple terms) of the energy molecule that cells use directly for work.
Products of Photosynthesis
Glucose and Oxygen
PRODUCTS of Cellular Respiration
ATP + Carbon Dioxide (CO2)+ Water (H2O)
Minus Question:
Which process releases energy?
ATP energy is released Cellular Respiration
What molecule carries chemical energy from photosynthesis to other parts of the plant?
Glucose
REACTANTS needed for Photosynthesis to occur
Water (H2O) + Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
In which cell organelle does most of cellular respiration occur?
Mitochondria
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration linked in the carbon cycle?
Photosynthesis converts CO2 into glucose; cellular respiration returns CO2 to the atmosphere as sugars are broken down Cellular Respiration
