Before Photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
Big Picture
Important
Photosynthesis
100
The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.
What is 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
What three things in the image above is the plant using to make the sugar?
Sunlight, CO2, water
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 glucose and oxygen and turn it into energy
What is Cellular Respiration?
200
What factor/product could we increase if we wanted to increase the amount of glucose our plants made?
Increase the amount of sunlight the plants are getting
200
The pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis?
What is chlorophyll?
200
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
Light energy, CO2, water
300
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
What is the atmosphere?
300
What are the inputs of cellular respiration?
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
What is an important basic need for all living things?
Food (glucose)
300
What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?
Glucose and Oxygen
400
Why is photosynthesis so important? (Think of the inputs/outputs)
Photosynthesis converts sun energy into food, making energy available for plants and animals. It also makes Oxygen, which we need to breathe.
400
What are the outputs of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and energy (ATP)
400
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.
What is photosynthesis?
400
What do plants produce in photosynthesis that is used by animals and other heterotrophs?
Glucose and Oxygen
400
What inputs are rearranged to create sugar for plants?
Carbon Dioxide and Water
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
This energy source is used to transform CO2 and water into chemical energy by plants and other autotrophs
Sunlight
500
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis
Light energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Sugar + Oxygen
