Photosynthesis
What is the primary pigment in plant cells that captures light energy for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
Who can perform cellular respiration?
Fermentation is what kind of respiration: Aerobic or Anaerobic?
Anaerobic
Who makes this sound???
PERRY THE PLATYPUS
Which gas is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis and what gas is released?
Absorbed - Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Released - Oxygen (O2)
(1) What is the primary molecule that cells use as a source of energy and (2) which gas is required for cellular respiration?
(1) Glucose (C6H12O6)
(2) Oxygen (O2)
What molecules/compounds are released during alcoholic fermentation?
Carbon dioxide, alcohol (ethanol), ATP
What movie is this soundtrack from?
Pirates of the Caribbean
Name one factor that affects the rate of photosynthesis
Light intensity, temperature, carbon dioxide concentration
What are the steps of cellular respiration (in order) and their specific locations?
(1) Glycolysis - Cytoplasm
(2) Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle - Mitochondria Matrix
(3) Electron Transport Chain (ETC) - Inner Mitochondrial Membrane
Lactic acid can build up in muscles if oxygen is not available in animal cells.
(1) What type of respiration is this an example of (be specific)?
(2) Is this build up permanent?
(3) Why or why not?
(1) Lactic Acid Fermentation
(2) No!
(3) It's not permanent because if you rest and let your body recover, you give your body a chance take in more oxygen!
What is Mr. Krab's first name?
Eugene
(1) What organelle does photosynthesis take place in?
(2) What is the specific location for the light dependent reaction?
(3) What is the specific location for the light independent reaction?
(1) Chloroplast
(2) Grana - thylakoid membrane
(3) Stroma
Aside from the production of ATP, what are the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)
What role does ATP, NADH, FADH2 in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
They are the primary energy or electron carriers during both metabolic processes. ATP is the energy carrier (stores energy in the bond between the last two phosphates). NADH and FADH2 are the electron carriers (they transfer high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain)
Why is photosynthesis essential for heterotrophs?
Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a byproduct, which is necessary for the respiration of most heterotrophs.
Why do humans rely on cellular respiration?
Humans rely on cellular respiration because it produces and provides cells with the energy they need to function.
We know both photosynthesis and cellular respiration utilize the same molecules, but how do the reactions use them?
Photosynthesis captures and stores solar energy in glucose, and cellular respiration releases this stored energy as ATP, which is used by organisms.
