cellular resporation
What are mitochondria?
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells.
What is chloroplasts
The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.
What is cellular respiration?
It converts food into energy, allowing us to think, breathe, and move. Basically, we would not be alive without it.
What are Chloroplasts?
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What are pigments?
A molecule that captures sunlight?
What is Cellular Respiration?
The process cells use to take food energy and turn it into ATP.
This is where water enters the plants.
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.
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide, Water
What is chlorophyll?
The pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis?
What are the inputs of cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
What is the atmosphere?
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
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
What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?
Glucose and Oxygen.
What is the nucleus?
The city hall of the cell. It directs traffic and tells the rest of the cell what to do.
What are the outputs of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
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.
What is photosynthesis?
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.
What is sunlight?
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.
Does energy flow through a system or cycle?
system
What is ATP
The energy currency of the cell
What are stomata?
The holes in the bottom of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf.
What 3 gases pass through the stomata of leaves?
Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen
Water Vapor
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Sugar + Oxygen
Do the atoms that make up carbon dioxide, water, and sugar flow or cycle through a system?
Cycles through earths system.
