Photosynthesis
Identify the organisms that depend on photosynthesis for survival.
b) Plants, algae, and phytoplankton
Which of the following organisms depend on the process of cellular respiration for survival?
All organisms that break down glucose for food; including plants and animals
Which statement is true for both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
They both are required, to some extent, for a cell to produce ATP
Which process is essential for kelp growth and survival?
Photosynthesis
matter
Energy
Food Webs
Atoms
Molecules
.Matter -the substance that has mass and occupies space.
Energy -The ability to do work and cause change
Food Webs- The transfer of matter and energy between living components of an ecosystem.
.Atoms-The basic unit of matter, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
.Molecules-Substances made of two or more atoms bonded together.
What gas is an input of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide
dentify the main role of cellular respiration.
to break down glucose into energy in the form of ATP
Evaluate which statement is accurate.
Oxygen is an output of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is an output of cellular respiration
How do kelp forests begin their life cycle?
Through spores called sporophytes
Photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
Aerobic Respiration
Producers
Photosynthesis-the process by which plants, algae, and some microorganisms convert light energy into chemical energy
.Cellular Respiration-The energy required for all life processes.
Aerobic Respiration-the process of breaking down glucose to release energy in the presence of oxygen.
Producers-organisms that produce their own food using sunlight or chemical energy.
Analyze how photosynthesis helps humans survive.
photosynthesis gives us oxygen so we can breathe and glucose we can break down for energy
identify the inputs of cellular respiration.
Glucose and Oxygen
Analyze how cellular respiration and photosynthesis are interdependent.
Photosynthesis uses the carbon dioxide from cellular respiration to create glucose and oxygen.
What indicates poor health in kelp fronds?
Discoloration and decay
Consumers
Decomposer
Consumers-Organisms that consume other organisms for energy.
. Decomposer -Organisms that break down dead or decaying organic matter into simpler substances.
identify all of the outputs of photosynthesis
Glucose and Oxygen
identify all of the outputs of cellular respiration.
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
Yes, all humans needs photosynthesis to survive because plants gives off the oxygen we used to breathe
How can water quality issues affect kelp forests?
Reduced water clarity prevents sunlight penetration
Organisms
Microorganisms
Organisms Living entities that can be unicellular or multicellular, such as plants, animals, and microorganisms.
-
Microorganisms -Very small organisms, often microscopic, that can be bacteria, fungi, or algae.
Evaluate which statement would be the most accurate if photosynthesis did not occur on Earth.
Every plant would be extinct
Every animal would be extinct
Our world would be practically deserted
Analyze the chemical formula for cellular respiration.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂ + ATP
kelp- starts with the blade and ends at the hold fast
plants starts at the roots and ends at the leaves.
What happens in the kelp forest ecosystem when sea otters are absent? Why
Sea urchin populations often explode, because the sea otters eat the sea urchins, without sea otters presence the urchins population will take over and eat all the kelp causing a decline in kelp forest.
Ecosystem
Ecosystems -the collection of living organisms interacting with each other and their physical environment.
