What is photosynthesis?
The process by which plants make food.
The purpose of respiration is to convert energy in nutrients to ATP. True or false?
True. While respiration is similar to photosynthesis, some things (like this) are different.
Requires light energy to make sugar and feed plants. Photosynthesis, respiration, or both?
Photosynthesis.
Both chlorophyll and _____ need to be present for photosynthesis to take place, but they are not used up in the process.
Light energy.
What is the main organelle used in cellular respiration? a. Chloroplast b. Nucleolus c. Mitochondria d. Nucleus
c. Mitochondria.
What is glucose?
A simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms.
In Greek, photo means light. True or false?
True, "photo" means "light" and "synthesis" means "putting together". Combined, you get "photosynthesis".
Occurs in plant cells. Photosynthesis, respiration, or both?
Both. Though cellular respiration happens in animal cells, as well.
The process of photosynthesis mostly takes place in the _____ of plant leaf cells.
Chloroplasts.
The purpose of respiration is to convert glucose into what? a. ATP b. food c. organelles d. cats
a. ATP.
What is chlorophyll?
A green pigment, present in plants, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
Cellular respiration occurs in the nucleus. True or false?
False. It happens in the mitochondria.
Oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released. Photosynthesis, respiration, or both?
Respiration. In photosynthesis, oxygen is given out and carbon dioxide is taken in.
In order to complete photosynthesis, a plant needs _____, _____, and _____.
Carbon dioxide, light, and water.
Daily Double!!!
Ms. Marshall was a Biology major at this local university
XAVIER, of course!!!
What is carbon dioxide?
A invisible gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
ATP stands for "adanisine trillosphy". True or false?
False. ATP stands for "adenosine triphosphate".
Happens at all times in cells. Photosynthesis, respiration, or both?
Respiration. Photosynthesis only occurs in the presences of light.
Carbon dioxide passes through minuscule holes in a plant's leaves called _____.
Stomata. These are the tiny pores in leaves that allow plants to take in gasses.
During photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorbs all light but_________
Green, it reflects green
What is cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is how cells break up sugars so that they can use in for energy. This happens in all life forms.
Cellular respiration only happens in animal cells
False, both plant and animal cells
Contain Chemical reactions... Photosynthesis, respiration, or both?
Both. They each create sugar which is like food, a source of energy.
Photosynthesis takes place in a plant's _____.
Leaves or chloroplast
Research have discovered a type of sea slug that can make energy through photosynthesis. Why is this significant? a. Sea slugs don't exist. b. Animals can't normally undergo photosynthesis. c. Sea slugs prefer cellular respiration. d. Only mammals and plants undergo photosynthesis.
b. Normally, animals are unable to undergo photosynthesis and instead get energy through cellular respiration.
