Energy Transfer Processes
Process used by plants to convert light energy from the sun to chemical energy used to energize animals?
What is photosynthesis?
Is released by plants into the atmosphere.
What is oxygen?
Eaten by animals to obtain energy.
What are plants?
Animals get their energy from food, but food gets its energy from this.
What is the sun?
This should always be done when taking part in a lab.
What is follow directions?
Converts oxygen and other nutrients into chemical energy?
What is cellular respiration?
Long molecules that create multiple chains of amino acids.
What is a protein?
This is absorbed and moved throughout a plants stem, vessels, and leaves.
What is water?
Used for growth, movement, warmth, and body repair in animals.
What is energy from food?
Not allowed in the lab due to contamination.
What is food and drinks?
Process of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen compounds into glucose.
What is the Calvin cycle?
Green pigments essential to the photosynthetic process.
What is chlorophyll?
A green pigment called chlorophyll absorbs this within plants.
What is sunlight?
Can get energy by consuming other animals that eat plants.
What is a carnivore?
You should know the location of this when preparing for a lab.
What is safety equipment?
Combination of chemical reactions used to produce carbon compounds from water and carbon dioxide.
What is the reverse Krebs cycle?
Made by plants during photosynthesis and combine hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon.
What is a carbohydrate?
Small pores or holes in leaves that carbon dioxide passes through.
What is stomata?
Maintained through eating food and consuming energy.
What is functionality?
Should be avoided when in contact with liquids or other chemicals.
What is touching, smelling, and tasting?
The beginning process of photosynthesis that includes proteins, pigments, and other factors that work together to absorb light energy and convert those reactions.
What is a photosynthetic reaction center?
Used to produce food or glucose for plants.
What is hydrogen and carbon dioxide?
Plants need these to make food.
What is carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water?
Done by animals to conserve energy.
What is sleep or rest?
Should be worn in a lab as a precaution to ensure safety.
What is appropriate clothing and protective gear?
