Photosynthesis
The process of photosynthesis occurs in this cellular organelle
What is the chloroplast?
Organisms capable of making their own energy via photosynthesis or chemosynthesis
What are autotrophs?
The site of cellular respiration
What is the mitochondria?
Fermentation occurs when the organism lacks this reactant of cellular respiration
What is oxygen?
This molecule is often called the "energy currency" for the cell
What is ATP?
The ultimate source of energy that drives the photosynthesis reaction
What is sunlight?
The small openings on leaves that allow for gas exchange
What are stomata?
The two main types of cellular respiration
What are aerobic and anaerobic?
Fermentation produces far less of this product than other types of respiration
What is ATP?
The P in ATP refers to these
What are phosphates?
The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of this process
What is cellular respiration?
The breakdown of this pigment in leaves allows them to change color in the fall
What is chlorophyll?
The missing product in the respiration reaction:
Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water
What is ATP energy?
The burning sensation in your muscles after an intense workout is due to the buildup of this
What is lactic acid?
ATP becomes this molecule after being used for energy by the cell
What is ADP?
Energy becomes stored here after photosynthesis is complete
What are the bonds of glucose?
The reason stomata have guard cells that allow the openings to close
What is water loss/transpiration?
In the presence of oxygen, this type of respiration occurs
What is aerobic?
Fermentation in yeast results in this byproduct
What is ethanol/alcohol?
ATP is often required for transport through this feature of the cell
What is the cell membrane?
During photosynthesis, light energy is converted to this
What is chemical energy?
This gas enters the stomata
What is carbon dioxide?
The production of ATP is necessary because this energy storage molecule is not accepted as energy currency for the cell
What is glucose?
Fermentation occurs in this type of environment
What is anaerobic?
The bond within ATP that contains the most potential energy
What is the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate?
