Photosynthesis Basics
This stage of photosynthesis requires sunlight to split water molecules
What is Stage 1?
This molecule, made during cellular respiration, provides energy to cells.
What is ATP (energy)?
Increasing this in Jerrica’s yard could help her grass grow better.
What is light intensity?
This organelle is where photosynthesis happens.
What is the chloroplast?
Zoe eats this to fuel her body before running laps on the track.
What is a granola bar?
This compound is an output of photosynthesis, released into the air
What is oxygen?
The second stage of cellular respiration takes place in this organelle.
What is the mitochondrion?
In Jerrica’s indoor grass experiment, the plants receiving this light intensity will produce more oxygen.
What is 1000 light intensity?
This organelle helps with cellular respiration and is known as the "powerhouse of the cell."
This organelle helps with cellular respiration and is known as the "powerhouse of the cell."
In which process do cells use oxygen to release energy from glucose?
What is cellular respiration?
In photosynthesis, carbon comes from this source
What is carbon dioxide in the air
Put these events in the correct order: glucose enters the cell, smaller molecules enter the mitochondrion, oxygen is used, and carbon dioxide is released.
Glucose enters the cell, 2) Smaller molecules enter the mitochondrion, 3) Oxygen is used, 4) Carbon dioxide is released.
If watering the grass does not work, this next step may help the plants grow by increasing light exposure.
What is cutting down a few trees?
Chlorophyll, the green pigment, absorbs this type of energy.
What is light energy?
Which of these actions would help Zeke’s angelfish increase cellular respiration: adding oxygen, adding carbon dioxide, reducing sunlight, or reducing food?
What is adding oxygen?
This green pigment in chloroplasts captures light energy
What is chlorophyll
This type of molecule is broken down in the cytoplasm during cellular respiration.
What is glucose?
Why might a plant with less access to water not perform photosynthesis as efficiently?
What is because water is needed to split molecules in Stage 1 of photosynthesis?
In cellular respiration, glucose first enters this part of the cell to start being broken down.
What is the cytoplasm?
In which stage of cellular respiration is a small amount of energy released?
What is Stage 1?
During a drought, which part of photosynthesis is most affected, and why?
During a drought, which part of photosynthesis is most affected, and why?
Cellular respiration releases this gas as a waste product.
What is carbon dioxide?
What are two main inputs needed for photosynthesis?
What are water and carbon dioxide?
This term describes animals and plants that create their own food using sunlight.
What is autotrophs?
This analogy describes glucose molecules being broken apart like toy building bricks.
What is the "building blocks" analogy for cellular respiration?
