Vocabulary
A substance present in all living cells that provides energy for many metabolic processes and is involved in making RNA.
What is ATP?
A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring.
What is Chlorophyll?
A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place
What is the Chloroplast?
6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2
What is the equation for Photosynthesis?
Glucose and Oxygen.
What are the reactants of Cellular Respiration?
What is a Chemical Reaction?
The process by which cells produce energy from carbohydrates; atmospheric oxygen combines with glucose to form water and carbon dioxide.
What is Cellular Respiration?
An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers.
What is the Mitochondria?
Brings water up to the leaves from the roots through capillary action.
What is Xylem?
Carbon Dioxide and Water.
What are the products of Cellular Respiration?
A substance that is present at the end of a chemical reaction.
What is a Product?
Relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen.
What is Aerobic?
What is the Glycolysis?
An opening on the bottom of leaves, opens and closes to bring in carbon dioxide (CO₂) for photosynthesis. Excess oxygen (O₂) exits through the stomata after the reaction takes place.
What is the Stomata?
Carbon Dioxide and Water.
What are the reactants of Photosynthesis?
A substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction.
What is a Reactant?
Relating to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen.
What is Anaerobic?
What is the Krebs Cycle?
Occurs in the chloroplasts in plant cells.
Where does Photosynthesis occur?
Glucose and Oxygen.
What are the products of photosynthesis?
The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight , carbon dioxide and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.
What is Photosynthesis?
What is Carbon Dioxide?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
What is the equation for Cellular Respiration?
Used to release the energy stored in the bonds of the glucose molecule.
What is Oxygen used for?
Takes place in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic cells.
Where does Aerobic Respiration take place?
