Photosynthesis
This green pigment in chloroplasts allows plants to capture energy from sunlight.
Chlorophyll
Cellular respiration produces this, which all living things need
Energy
(will also accept ATP)
This term describes an organism that converts light energy into chemical energy
Producer
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
This molecule is the primary "energy currency" organisms use to perform daily activities.
ATP
These are the two primary products created during the process of photosynthesis.
Glucose (sugar) and Oxygen
In both plant and animal cells, cellular respiration primarily occurs in this organelle.
Mitochondria
In a food chain consisting of grass, a deer, and a panther, this organism is the primary consumer
the Deer
Where does the mass of plants come from?
CO2 from the atmosphere
This type of respiration occurs when oxygen is absent or low
Fermentation
or Anaerobic respiration
Photosynthesis is the process of "putting together" using this as the initial energy source.
Light
This is the chemical equation for cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36 ATP
This is the reason why there are fewer organisms at the top of an energy pyramid than at the bottom. What is there not enough of?
there is not enough energy to support large numbers of them
Blowing up a balloon provides evidence that air is matter because it proves air does this.
Takes up space
Where is extra energy stored in plants? in animals?
Starch and Fats
This is the specific part of the cell where photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplast
This is what animals do with the carbon dioxide produced in their cells during respiration.
Exhale it
or
Breathe it out
This type of organism is always found at the very bottom level (Level 1) of an energy pyramid.
What are producers (or Autotrophs)
According to atmospheric data since 1960, the amount of carbon dioxide in the air has been doing this.
steadily increasing
Which step in cellular respiration produces by far the most ATP
ETC
or Electron Transport Chain
Would a plant grow better if it received only blue light or only green light?
blue light
This is the first step in Cellular Respiration
Glycolysis
This is the original source of energy for almost all food chains, including the one for a manatee eating sea grass.
The Sun
These organisms play a vital role in the carbon cycle by breaking down dead material and releasing carbon back into the soil.
decomposers
Balance this chemical equation
___ C6H12O6 + ___ O2 --> ___ CO2 + ___ H2O
