Photosynthesis
What structure in the cell captures light energy for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
Why might a person undergo anaerobic respiration?
Because they are low on oxygen and need to make ATP
What is the dependent variable?
The variable being measured in the experiment. It is also the variable responding to the independent variable.
Chloroplast are structures within cells that undergo photosynthesis.
Cytoplasm is a structure within cells that undergoes glycolysis.
If sunlight is blocked, what type of energy will plants be unable to convert light energy to?
chemical energy
What products from photosynthesis are used as the reactants in cellular respiration?
What are 3 differences between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen, anaerobic respiration makes 2 ATP (aerobic makes 36), anaerobic respiration creates lactic acid in animals
What is the independent variable?
The variable purposefully changed in an experiment.
What color would a BTB solution turn if an animal undergoing anaerobic respiration is placed in it?
blue. (No CO2 made in animals going through anaerobic respiration)
A plant created glucose and oxygen. What reactants were needed for it to do so?
Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Sunlight (or light energy)
What are the three major steps of cellular respiration, and where do they occur?
Glycolysis- Cytoplasm
Kreb's Cylce- Mitochondria
Electron Transport Chain- Mitochondria
An organism is undergoing anaerobic respiration. How can you determine whether the organism is a plant or an animal?
If alcohol is made, it is a plant. If lactic acid is made, it is an animal.
An experiment is trying to see what type of fuel makes a Toyota Camry drive the farthest. What is the independent variable?
The type of fuel
What color would a BTB solution turn if a plant undergoing anaerobic respiration is placed in it?
Green or Yellow. (Plants undergoing anaerobic respiration create CO2)
What products will not be made if a plant does not receive enough water?
Glucose and Oxygen
A person has a disease in which pyruvic acid does not pass through the mitochondria. What would be the symptoms/effects of this disease on the person and why?
The person would be tired/fatigued since they are unable to make any ATP to carry out functions of the body
Why are yeast used for making beer/wine?
They undergo anaerobic respiration, and create alcohol.
An experiment is trying to see what type of fuel makes a Toyota Camry drive the farthest. What variables should be held constant (name 2).
The type of car, The amount of fuel, the speed at which the car is being driven
Mitochondria only
A sudden disease causes plants to be unable to intake water from their roots. How might humans be affected by this?
The plants will be unable to go through photosynthesis, so they will not make any Oxygen. Humans will be unable to survive without Oxygen.
It is said that humans cannot survive without oxygen. Why is that the case?
Oxygen is required for cellular respiration. Without cellular respiration, humans cannot make ATP (which is used for all functions).
A person is unable to go through anaerobic respiration. What reactant is missing?
Glucose
From the following hypothesis, determine the dependent variable. If an Elodea plant is placed closer to the light, then it will produce more oxygen bubbles because it is going through photosynthesis at a faster rate.
The amount of oxygen bubbles.
a. Chloroplasts. b. Mitochondria. Which of the listed structures belong in plants?
Both chloroplasts and mitochondria
