What process allows cells to release a small amount of energy without oxygen?
What is fermentation?
What simple sugar do cells use for energy?
What is glucose?
What gas do plants take in for photosynthesis?
What is carbon dioxide?
What three things are needed for photosynthesis?
What are sunlight (light energy), water, and carbon dioxide?
What molecule provides usable energy for cells?
What is ATP?
What type of fermentation uses yeast and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide?
What is alcoholic fermentation?
What do we call the starting substances of a chemical reaction?
What are the reactants?
What gas is released during photosynthesis and used in aerobic respiration?
What is oxygen?
What two products are made during photosynthesis?
What are glucose and oxygen?
Where does glycolysis take place inside the cell?
What is in the cytoplasm of the cell?
What type of fermentation can occur in muscle cells when oxygen is limited?
What is lactic acid fermentation?
What are the substances made during a chemical reaction called?
What are the products?
What two products of cellular respiration can plants use during photosynthesis?
What are carbon dioxide and water?
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
The two stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions.
What are the two main stages of cellular respiration?
What are glycolysis (anaerobic respiration) and aerobic respiration?
How does alcoholic fermentation help bread dough rise?
What is the production of carbon dioxide gas, which forms bubbles that make dough rise?
Write the word equation for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide + water + light energy → glucose + oxygen?
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration connected?
What is photosynthesis producing glucose and oxygen for cellular respiration, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and water that can be reused in photosynthesis?
Explain how a plant uses sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make glucose.
Plants use their green leaves (contain chlorophyll) to trap sunlight, which provides the energy needed to power their food-making process. By combining this solar energy with water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air, they create a sugary food called glucose and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
Describe what happens during the first and second stages of cellular respiration.
What is glycolysis, which splits glucose in the cytoplasm and releases a small amount of energy, followed by aerobic respiration, which uses oxygen and occurs mainly in the mitochondria to release much more ATP?
Compare alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. Give one example of each.
What is alcoholic fermentation, which produces alcohol and carbon dioxide in yeast, compared with lactic acid fermentation, which occurs in muscle cells when oxygen is limited?
Write the word equation for cellular respiration.
What is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP)?
What is alcoholic fermentation, which produces alcohol and carbon dioxide in yeast, compared with lactic acid fermentation, which occurs in some bacteria and muscle cells when oxygen is limited?
What is matter being recycled as substances move between the two processes, while energy enters as sunlight, is stored in glucose, and is transferred to usable ATP during cellular respiration?
