Inputs/Outputs
What gas goes into Photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide
What is incorrect about this equation about Photosynthesis:
Sugar + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water
This is not the correct equation, that is Cellular Respiration
What was M'Kenna's condition?
Celiac disease
What part of the plant is found below the ground?
The roots
This is the gas that humans breathe out.
What is carbon dioxide (CO2)?
What gas comes out of Photosynthesis?
Oxygen
What is made during photosynthesis?
glucose and oxygen
What did M'Kenna's condition cause her body to not do?
Her body could not absorb glucose in her small intestine.
What part(s) of the plant are found above the ground?
Leaves and stems
This is an output of photosynthesis that both humans and plants make in their cells
What is glucose?
What gas is produced by Cellular Respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
Why is carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis?
the carbon in the molecule is needed to make glucose.
What food molecule cannot be broken down in our bodies?
Fiber
What is the function of the stomata?
To breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.
This output of photosynthesis is needed for animals to breathe.
What is oxygen?
What is a major input of Cellular Respiration?
Oxygen or Sugar
Why is sunlight needed for photosynthesis?
The energy from the light is needed to start the chemical reaction.
What part of the body absorbs glucose? (Be specific.)
The villi
What is the function of the chloroplasts?
To conduct photosynthesis.
These are the amounts of energy a food item gives us.
What are calories?
What natural molecule is created when a plant is exposed to sunlight?
Sugar, C6H12,O6, Glucose
What molecule(s) needs to be in abundance for photosynthesis to occur?
Water and/or Carbon Dioxide
How is glucose transported throughout our bodies?
Through our blood.
Why do chloroplasts move away from sunlight in intense light conditions?
They can get burned and die.
This is the photosynthesis formula
(6)CO2 + (6)H20 + sunlight ---> C6H12O6 + (6)O2
