Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration occurs in ____________?
Plants and animals
What is the main energy trapping molecule in plants?
What is chlorophyll, NOT chloroplasts (this is the organelle chlorophyll is in)
Definition of a monomer
What is a small subunit of molecules
What is a covalent bond?
A bond where electrons are shared between atoms, usually between nonmetals
This is the stable internal state that our body attempts to maintain:
homeostasis
When is energy released from ATP?
When the bond is broken between the second and third phosphate
What is the skeleton equation for photosynthesis?
co2 + h2o+ sunlight --> C6H12O6 + O2
Butter and fat are examples of
lipids
Diffusion occurs across this organelle of the cell
What is the plasma membrane
Name one version of homeostasis OTHER than body heat:
body pH, oxygen levels, nutrient/electrolyte levels, etc
What is the skeleton equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
The inputs for photosynthesis include

Plants balance out cellular respiration by
Absorbing CO2 in the atmosphere from animals
Type of food that contains nucleic acids
all living cells! (DNA)
What is the job of the lysosome? Be specific!
to break down old or decaying parts of the cell

By what process does CO2 exit the cell after cellular respiration?
diffusion
Where are ribosomes found in the cell?
Free floating AND on the rough ER
Two other areas in physiology wherein countercurrent exchange occurs
waste removal and oxygen intake
