Intro to Photosynthesis and CR
What do our cells do when we sleep?
They keep working!
Photosynthesis is a process by which (blank) energy is captured.
Solar
What is the one disadvantage of asexual reproduction?
No genetic variation.
The organ responsible for photosynthesis.
Leaves
What is the currency all living things use for energy?
ATP
How many phosphates does ATP have?
3 (Triphosphate)
What is stored as energy in photoautotrophs?
Glucose
What do flowers entice over to them in order to complete sexual reproduction?
Pollinators
The cell wall is made of this
Cellulose
What two types of exercises can be performed that are defined by oxygen.
Aerobic and Anaerobic
Where does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
What organelle does photosynthesis take place in?
Chloroplasts
Name the three types of pollinators.
Bees
Hummingbirds
Butterflies
This part of the plant opens and closes to keep water in and exchange gases.
Stomata
Oxygen enters our (blank) and diffuses into the blood stream
Lungs
Name at least two of the three photoautotrophs.
Plants
Plankton
Cyanobacteria
Water travels up by cohesion and adhesion through which organ of the plant?
Xylem
The entire male part of the reproductive system is called the
Stamen
This part of the plant transports things up and down the plant (2-lane highway)
Phloem
In yeast and certain bacteria, this is created during anaerobic respiration.
Ethanol or Alcohol
What two reactants are needed for organisms to preform cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
What are the three reactants of photosynthesis?
Sunlight
Water
Carbon Dioxide
Name the two ways a plant reproduces asexually.
Running and grafting
What is the name of the waxy lipid layer to reduce transpiration
Cuticle
The difference in ATP produced during aerobic and anaerobic respiration is...
38 ATP -2 ATP =36 ATP
