Let There Be Light!
The process by which energy from the sun is used to create glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis happens in this organelle.
What is the chloroplast?
Photosynthesis consists of this number of reactions.
What is two?
The process by which a living organism converts glucose into energy in order to perform their functions.
What is cellular respiration?
Glycolysis takes place in this part of the cell.
What is the cytoplasm?
All living organisms perform this process.
What is cellular respiration?
Plants expel this gas as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
What is Oxygen?
Chlorophyll reflects this color.
What is green?
The thylakoid is the site of this reaction.
What is the light dependent reaction?
The energy created when glucose is converted.
What is ATP?
The Krebs Cycle takes part in this organelle.
What is the mitochondria?
Heterotrophs are not capable of performing this process.
What is photosynthesis?
Plants take in this gas through their leaves.
What is Carbon Dioxide?
This structure in the chloroplast looks like a stack of coins.
What is a thylakoid?
The stroma is the site of this reaction.
What is the light independent reaction?
The organelle where most of cellular respiration takes place.
What is the mitochondria?
The Electron Transport Chain takes place in this area. (be specific!)
What is the mitochondrial membrane?
The second part of the cellular respiration equation is called this.
What is the product?
The small holes in leaves where gases enter and leave a plant.
What are stomata or stomate?
This is the fluid-filled space inside the chlorplast.
What is the stroma?
The is the name of the first part of the photosynthesis equation.
What is the reactant?
This atom is considered the backbone of all living organisms.
What is Carbon?
Glycolysis is an anaerobic process which means this.
What is it doesn't need oxygen?
Tropical plants, over millions of years of compaction, eventually turn into this fossil fuel.
What is coal?
This is the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Sunlight =
C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Plants can make their own food so they are referred to as these.
What are autotrophs?
What are the light independent and light dependent reactions?
The 3 major steps of cellular respiration.
What are glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain?
This stage of cellular respiration produces between 26-34 ATP.
What is the Electron Transport Chain?
Yeast is a type of fungi that performs this form of anaerobic respiration.
What is fermentation?
