What is the main purpose of photosynthesis for plants?
For plants to make their own food (glucose).
What would happen to a plant's rate of photosynthesis if it were placed in the dark
The rate of photosynthesis would decrease or stop completely because light energy is required
Who did the Chicago Bears beat yesterday?
Atlanta Falcons
How many bones do sharks have in their bodies?
0
In which type of cell (plant, animal, or both) is the chloroplast structure (containing thylakoids and stroma) found?
Plant cells
What are the reactants needed for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight (energy)
In the leaf disk lab experiment, what gas accumulated to make the leaf disks float?
Oxygen gas produced during photosynthesis
What is the only country that is also a continent?
Australia
Which food is the base of authentic guacamole?
Avocado
Do plant cells perform photosynthesis, cellular respiration, or both?
Both
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Glucose and oxygen.
What pigment gives plants their green color?
Chlorophyll
What is the longest river in the world?
Nile River
Who wrote the classic play "Romeo and Juliet"?
William Shakespeare
Do animal cells perform photosynthesis, cellular respiration, or both?
Cellular Respiration only.
Are organisms that make their own food?
Autotrophs
Why do plants appear green to our eyes?
Because chlorophyll reflects green light wavelengths while absorbing other colors (like red and blue)
What is the chemical equation for Photosynthesis?
(Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight $\rightarrow$ Glucose + Oxygen).
What inputs (things going in) does an autotrophic plant require, and what outputs does it release?
Inputs (going in): Sunlight, Carbon Dioxide, Water.
Outputs (going out): Oxygen and Glucose.
What happens to the glucose that a plant manufactures during photosynthesis?
It is broken down during cellular respiration to produce usable cell energy (ATP) or stored for growth and structure.
Which group of organisms undergoes photosynthesis: animals, plants, or both?
Plants
Which organelle within a cell carries out photosynthesis?
The Chloroplast
What is the chemical equation for Cellular Respiration?
(Glucose + Oxygen $\rightarrow$ Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy/ATP).
What inputs (things going in) does a heterotrophic animal require, and what outputs does it release?
Inputs (going in): Glucose (food) and Oxygen.
Outputs (going out): Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP energy.
How are the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration related to each other?
They are opposite/cyclical processes—the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration, and the products of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) are the reactants for photosynthesis.
