Autotrophs & Heterotrophs
This type of organism makes its own food.
What is an autotroph?
Glucose is best described as this.
What is a simple sugar used for energy?
Photosynthesis takes place in this organelle.
What is the chloroplast?
The light-dependent reactions occur here.
What are the thylakoid membranes?
Heterotrophs must eat other organisms to get energy.
What is True?
This type of organism must eat other organisms to get energy.
What is a heterotroph?
The chemical formula for glucose is this.
What is C₆H₁₂O₆?
The main pigment used in photosynthesis is this.
What is chlorophyll?
The Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions) occurs here.
What is the stroma?
ATP stores energy in its first phosphate bond.
False
Grass is an example of this type of organism.
What is an autotroph?
ATP is important because it does this for cells.
What is stores and releases energy?
Leaves appear green because they do this to green light.
What is reflect green light?
These structures and the stroma are both found inside chloroplasts.
What are thylakoids?
Photosynthesis takes place in the mitochondria.
False
Humans and dogs are examples of this type of organism.
What are heterotrophs?
ATP stores energy in this phosphate bond.
What is the third phosphate bond?
This gas is released during photosynthesis.
What is oxygen (O₂)?
This energy-carrying molecule is produced in the light reactions and used in the Calvin Cycle.
What is ATP?
Oxygen is released during photosynthesis.
What is True?
This process allows autotrophs to make glucose using sunlight.
What is photosynthesis?
Cells use ATP instead of using all the energy from glucose at once for this reason.
What is to release energy in small, usable amounts?
This is one important job of photosynthesis for plants.
What is to make glucose/food for the plant?
Name two inputs and two outputs of photosynthesis.
What are CO₂ and H₂O (inputs); O₂ and glucose (outputs)?
(Sunlight also acceptable as an input.)
Chloroplasts contain thylakoids and stroma.
True
