Photosynthesis
What types of organisms do photosynthesis
plants, some protists and bacteria
Which organisms do cellular respiration?
plants, animals, all eukaryotes
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration
aerobic- with oxygen
anaerobic- no oxygen
What are the 4 types of heterotrophs?
carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, detritivores
What is the equation for photosynthesis
light energy + 6co2 + 6H2O -> C6H1206 + 6O2
What is photosynthesis
The process by which most producers use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
What is cellular respiration?
the main process that converts glucose into ATP
What types of organisms do anaerobic respiration?
animals, bacteria, yeast
How does energy flow through each level of an energy pyramid?
as an organism is consumed, 10% of energy moves on to consumer
What is the primary energy source?
Sun
What are the reactants
carbon dioxide and water
What is ATP
energy carrying molecule of cells
What is a byproduct of lactic acid fermentation?
lactate (lactic acid)
If only 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, where does the other 90$ go?
heat and metabolic process
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
What are the products
glucose and oxygen
What are the three main stages of cellular repspiration
glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport chain
What is a byproduct of alcoholic fermentation?
ethanol
Why is a pyramid shape used to represent energy and biomass?
Because it represents the idea that as you move up the pyramid, the number of organisms and energy the organisms obtains decreases
What are stacks of thylakoids called?
Grana
What happens in light reaction? And what happens in calvin cycle?
Light reactions- light energy and water are converted into oxygen
Calvin cycle- carbon dioxide is converted into glucose
How many molecules are produced during glycolysis? Krebs cycle? ETC?
Glycolysis- 2
Krebs- 2
ETC- 32-34
Which is more efficient: cellular respiration or fermentation? WHY?
Suppose a producer contains 9,234 cal or energy. How much energy will be consumed by the primary consumer? secondary consumer? tertiary consumer?
primary- 923.4
secondary- 92.34
tertiary- 9.23
What is chlorophyll and why is it important?
a pigment that absorbs light energy, it is responsible for capturing light and converting it to sugar and oxygen
