Energetics Jeopardy

Food

100

The original source of energy for most life on this planet.

the sun

200

These types of organisms can make their own food.

autotrophs or producers

300

The source of energy for heterotrophs.

other organisms

400

This is an example of an organic compound.

sugar/carb, protein, lipid, nucleic acid

500

The matter that is converted into organic compounds by autotrophs.

carbon from carbon dioxide

Organelles

100

This is the organelle for aerobic cellular respiration.

mitochondria

200

This is the organelle for photosynthesis.

chloroplast

300

Chloroplasts contain thousands of these pigment molecules.

chlorophyll

400

The inside of this organelle is composed of stacks of thylakoids with surrounding stroma.

chloroplast

500

The inside of this organelle is a highly folded inner membrane and surrounding matrix.

mitochondria

Photosynthesis

100

This is an example of an organism that could do photosynthesis.

any autotroph (plant or algae)

200

This macromolecule is the food produced by autotrophs.

carbohydrates or sugars

300

These are two molecules needed for photosynthesis.

water and carbon dioxide

400

Autotrophs use this molecule and rearrange those atoms to make food.

carbon dioxide

500

Photsynthesis can be said to convert ___ to ___.

light energy to chemical energy

Respiration

100

Cellular respiration is responsible for breaking down this molecule.

glucose

200

These are the two types of respiration.

aerobic and anaerobic

300

Although they produce different amounts, both types of respiration produce this energy molecule.

ATP

400

When food is broken down, this molecule is released as a waste product.

carbon dioxide (technically water too)

500

These two processes follow glycolysis in the presence of oxygen in the mitochondria.

Krebs Cycle and ETC

Potpourri

100

This is a reactant of photosynthesis that is not recycled.

sunlight

200

This molecule is released into the atmosphere by photosynthesis and taken from the atmosphere by cellular respiration.

oxygen

300

This molecule is used during aerobic respiration, but not during anaerobic respiration.

oxygen

400

This is one way in which photosynthesis and cellular respiration are "biochemical pathways."

the products of one are the reactants of the other

500

In order, these 5 processes are involved in converting energy from sunlight into ATP.

light reactions
light-independent reactions/Calvin Cycle
glycolysis
Krebs Cycle
ETC
