Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Respiration
Grab Bag ( all are worth 500 points)
100
This type of organism can obtain the energy it needs through photosynthesis (or chemosynthesis for some).
What is an autotroph (a.k.a. producer)?
100
These are the two reactants of the process of photosynthesis.
What are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)?
100
This is the general name for the energy-releasing process used by all living things.
What is cellular respiration?
100
What is anaerobic cellular respiration?
--occurs in the absence of oxygen?
100
Refer to the graph below -
Why does the graph showing the amount of carbon dioxide vs. rate of photosynthesis eventually level out at point C?
The plant can only take in a certain amount of carbon dioxide. Once this limit is reached, the rate of photosynthesis remains constant and the producer cannot make more food
200
This organelle, found in plant and algal cells, is the location in the cell in which photosynthesis takes place.
What is the chloroplast?
200
Along with ATP energy, these are the two products of aerobic cellular respiration.
What are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)?
200
This is the name of the initial carbohydrate molecule that is broken down to release energy by the process of cellular respiration.
What is glucose?
200
What is aerobic respiration?
This type of cellular respiration is the most efficient using OXYGEN because it produces more ATP for use by the cell.
200
Which two factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Light intensity and amount of carbon dioxide
300
This is the name of the pigment found within chloroplasts that is responsible for absorbing light in the process of photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
300
This process transforms light energy into chemical potential energy.
What is photosynthesis?
300
There are two types of cellular respiration. This is the name of the type that occurs when there is no oxygen present.
What is anaerobic?
300
This type of respiration that produces up to 38 units of ATP.
What is aerobic cellular respiration?
300
Provide an example where we would use lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.
Lactic acid fermentation: (Either answer is correct) - 1) Humans use it for quick burst of energy. 2) We can use bacteria to make cheese, yogurt, or sour cream.
Alcoholic fermentation: (Either answer is correct) - 1) Yeast can be used to make bread. 2) Organisms can be used to make alcoholic beverages.
400
These are the products of the process of photosynthesis.
Glucose and Oxygen
400
This cellular process is shown below:
CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + O2
What is photosynthesis?
400
This organelle functions in aerobic cellular respiration by using oxygen to release energy for the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
(Plural: mitochondria)
400
This is the name of the second step of anaerobic respiration and is sometimes used as a nickname for the process as a whole.
What is fermentation?
400
Which graph would show temperature affecting the rate of photosynthesis?
C
500
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
H2O +CO2 + Light--> (C6H12O6) + (O2)?
500
This molecule is produced at some point during both photosynthesis and cellular respiration to power reactions in both of these cellular events.
What is adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?
500
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
O2 + C6H12O6--> H2O + CO2 + ATP
500
This is the type of fermentation that accounts for "feeling the burn" when you exercise for so long that your muscles can't get enough oxygen to produce ATP through aerobic means.
What is lactic acid fermentation?
500
Describe one reason why photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite processes.
1) Photosynthesis takes in energy while cellular respiration takes energy out. 2) The reactants of cellular respiration and the products of photosynthesis and vice versa.
