What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose (to make food for the plant)

100

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration 

To make ATP energy

After running a race, a student's muscle cells need more energy than they normally do. Which process helps the cells release usable energy from glucose?

Cellular Respiration.

100

What cell organelle PACKAGES PROTEINS 

Golgi Body 

200

What organelle is responsible for carrying out photosynthesis in plant cells?

Chloroplast

200

What organelle is responsible for carrying out cellular respiration?

The mitochondria 

200

A greenhouse farmer increases the amount of carbon dioxide available to plants. The plants begin producing glucose at a faster rate. Why?

Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis. Increasing its availability can increase photosynthesis when carbon dioxide was limiting the process.

Who was the person who played Mya in the show girl meets world?

Sabrina Carpenter

300

What are the PRODUCTS of photosynthesis?

Glucose and Oxygen 

300

What are the REACTANTS of cellular respiration?

Oxygen and Glucose

A houseplant is placed in a dark closet for several days. What will most likely happen to its ability to carry out photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis will decrease because the plant is not receiving enough light energy

300

What organelle protects the cell and adds structure

Cell wall

400

What are the REACTANTS pf photosynthesis? 

Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight

400

What are the PRODUCTS of Cellular respiration?

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy

A student eats a sandwich before playing basketball. How can the food eventually help the student's muscle cells obtain energy?

The food is broken down into nutrients, including glucose, which cells can use during cellular respiration to release usable energy

400

A cell's waste products begin building up because they cannot be broken down properly. Which organelle may not be functioning correctly?

Lysosome

500

A plant's leaves contain a green pigment that absorbs light energy. What is this pigment called?

Chlorophyll 

500

What kind of organisms got through cellular respiration?

Heterotrophs and Autotrophs

A farmer grows the same crop in two fields. Field A has fertile soil, plenty of water, and plenty of sunlight. Field B has the same conditions except that several tall buildings block sunlight for most of the day. Predict which field will likely have greater plant growth and explain using photosynthesis.

Field A will likely have greater growth because its plants receive more light energy, allowing them to carry out more photosynthesis and produce more glucose.

A scientist discovers a cell with no nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles, and DNA located in the cytoplasm. What type of cell is this?

Prokaryotic Cell
