What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Glucose and oxygen

100

What are the two products of photosynthesis?

Glucose and oxygen

100
What are the molecular names of the reactants of photosynthesis?

CO2 (Carbon dioxide) and H2O (water)

Cheetahs can run up to 50-80 miles per hour! Which cell organelle must they have a lot of in their muscles?

Mitochondria

100

What is the name of our school mascot?

Dr. J

200

The MOST important product of cellular respiration, that is not released as waste, is...

ATP / Energy

200

What are the two reactants of photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide and water

200

What are the molecular formulas for glucose and oxygen?

C6H12O6 (Glucose) and O2 (Oxygen)

200

What two organelles do plant cells have that animal cells do not have?

Cell walls and chloroplasts

200

True or False: Julius West was named after a Rockville Farmer.

True

300

TRUE OR FALSE: Autotrophs perform photosynthesis, while heterotrophs perform cellular respiration.

False! All living things perform cellular respiration.

300

True or False: Only plants are able to do photosynthesis.

False! Some bacteria and algae also can do photosyntesis

300

How many molecules of CO2, H2O, O2, and C6H12,O6 are involved in photosynthesis and respiration reactions?

1 molecule of glucose = C6H12,O6; and 6 molecules each of CO2 (Carbon dioxide), H2O (Water), and O2 (Oxygen)

300

The parts of the plant that take in the two reactants of photosynthesis are?

Leaves (CO2) and roots (H2O)

300

What year did JWMS open?

1961

400

What are the 2 places inside the cell where respiration takes place?

(1) Cytoplasm and (2) Mitochondria (the primary place)

400

Can photosynthesis take place in the dark? Why or why not?

No, because light energy is needed to activate the reaction.

400

What do the little numbers mean in molecular formulas? (E.g., the 2 in CO2 and H2O)

The numbers represent the number of atoms of each element (e.g., 1 atom of carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen in CO2)

400

What are autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Autotrophs, like plants, make their own food (through photosynthesis), while heterotrophs must consume (eat!) other organisms to obtain their energy.

The 4 teachers who teach 7th grade science are:...

Dr. Blate, Mr. Diehl, Mrs. Freeman, Ms. Osborne

500

What process helps organisms generate (make) energy if there is no oxygen?

Fermentation

500

What is the relationship between climate change and photosynthesis?

Climate change is driven by the increased concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels (which release CO2). Since photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere, increasing photosynthesis (e.g., by protecting forests and growing more trees) is an important means of fighting climate change.

500

What does the "T" and "P" stand for in ATP?

Triphosphate, meaning 3 molecules of phosphate. When these are separated from ATP they generate a tremendous amount of energy.
500

Since fish live in water and not on land, what special organ/body part do fish use to help them perform cellular respiration while living in water?

Gills

What are the names of our 4 assistant principals?

Bean, Grigsby, Kim, and Pierce
