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

These little disks act like little solar panels within the chloroplast.

What are thylakoids?

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.
What is Cellular Respiration?

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

This term refers to an organisms that can make its own food, like a plant

What is a producer?

200
Carbon Dioxide, Water
What are the inputs 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 of cellular respiration?
300

Explain why cellular respiration and photosynthesis are considered a cycle.

Photosynthesis makes what CR uses and CR makes what photosynthesis needs

300

This is an alternative to CR that yeast and muscle cells can do when there is no Oxygen.

What is Fermentation?

300
Glucose and Oxygen.
What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?
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

Where is the energy in ATP stored in the molecule?

The bonds between the last phosphates

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 Sacramento goes into a major drought in the summer?

What is photosynthesis?

500

What gas does the term aerobic mean?

What is Oxygen?

500
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Sugar + Oxygen
