Plants 101
The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.
What is chloroplast?
It converts food into energy knowen as ATP, allowing us to think, breathe, and move. Basically, we would not be alive without it. It allows organisms to carry out their life functions.
What is cellular respiration?
To capture the energy from the sunlight needed to pull apart the molecules of carbon dioxide and water to form the products of photosynthsis.
What is the function of the chloroplasts/chlorophyll?
Glucose in plants can be used for these three main things.
1) What is energy (goes through cellular respiration)?
2) What is store for future energy"
3) What is allows plant to grow?
This is where water enters the plants.
What are roots?
The process cells use to take food (chemical energy) and turn it into ATP ( usuable celluar chemical energy).
What is Cellular Respiration?
36 atoms in the materials and 36 reactants in the products in the chemical equation demonstrates this law. * You learned it in the fruitloop lab.
What is the law of conservation of matter (mass)?
The estimated % of a trees' mass that comes from carbon dioxide.
What is 95%.
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
What is animals, they excrete it into the atmosphere.
Glucose and Oxygen
What are the materials of cellular respiration? And also the products of photosynthesis?
Energy changing from one form to another was demonstrated by seeing this in class before we learned about photosynthesis.
What is lighting an LED with a battery.
The life function that is demonstrated when a plant preforms photosynthesis.
What is "ingestion"/nutrition?
These organisms are not a plants but can perform photosynthesis.
What are algae?
* Some bacteria also can perform photosynthesis.
Converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen with the help of the sun's light energy.
What is photosynthesis?
Because plants can perform photosynthesis they are often referred to as _______________ or ________________.
What are autotrophs or producers?
The process by which plants give off water vapor through the stomata in their leaves and is released to the atmosphere.
What is transpiration?
It is not matter so it is not a material needed for photosynthesis, but it is required for the reaction to proceed and form the prodcuts. Because of this, we write this above the arrow in the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is light energy?
The pores/small holes on the backside of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters and oxygen water vapor leave.
What are stomata?
The energy that cells use.
What is ATP?
______________happens mostly during the day, while ________________ happens at consistent rate day and night.
