Photosynthesis #1
Term for an organism that can make their own food.
Autotroph
What is the energy molecule that allows cells to get things done?
ATP
This type of respiration does NOT need oxygen to work.
Anaerobic
True/False: Cell Respiration takes place entirely in the mitochondria.
[DOUBLE JEOPARDY]
False - It starts in the cytoplasm with Glycolysis
How is energy released from ATP?
A phosphate is broken off.
Where does the mass of a tree come from?
[DOUBLE JEOPARDY]
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Which pathway is more efficient? Anaerobic or Aerobic?
[DOUBLE JEOPARDY]
Aerobic
How much ATP is needed to be spent in order to continue into the mitochondria?
2 ATP
Where do the Light Reactions take place in the Chloroplast?
[DOUBLE JEOPARDY]
Thylakoids
Where does the Calvin Cycle take place in the Chloroplast?
Stroma
What is the "fuel" that powers Cell Respiration?
Glucose
Which step in Cell Respiration produces the most ATP?
[DOUBLE JEOPARDY]
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
List one thing that can impact the rate of photosynthesis in plants.
1. Intensity of light
2. Water
3. Temperature
Write out the complete balanced equation for photosynthesis.
[DOUBLE JEOPARDY]
6CO2 + 6H2O ---sunlight---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Glucose is too big to enter the mitochondria. What does Glycolysis turn glucose into?
[DOUBLE JEOPARDY]
2 molecules of Pyruvic Acid
Write out the complete balanced equation for Cell Respiration.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
What does the actual absorbing of light energy in the thylakoids?
[DOUBLE JEOPARDY]
Chlorophyll
How is the Calvin Cycle dependent on the Light Reactions?
It needs the ATP produced in the Light Reactions for it to work.
What is considered a "waste" produce of the Calvin Cycle in Cell Respiration?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
During which step in Cell Respiration is oxygen used as a reactant?
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
