Chemosynthesis
Define: Chemosynthesis
What is a process by which organisms use inorganic compounds to make food?
The conversion of light energy into chemical energy to make food for plants
What is photosynthesis?
Define: Cellular Respiration
What is the process by which carbohydrates are broken down to create energy?
Another word for autotroph: an organism that produces its own food.
What is a producer?
An organism that uses chemosytnhesis to make food.
What is bacteria (or archaea)?
Chloroplasts are found in (plants OR animals).
What are plants?
(Aerobic OR anaerobic) respiration require oxygen.
What is aerobic?
This gas is produced by plants and inhaled by animals.
What is oxygen?
Hydrothermal vents and methane seeps are where this process takes place.
What is where chemosynthesis takes place?
The pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
(Aerobic OR aneorobic) respiration takes place in the cytoplasm.
What is anaerobic respiration?
This gas is exhaled by animals and taken in by plants.
What is carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide and water are (reactants OR products) of chemosynthesis and photosynthesis?
What are reactants?
The following is the formula for this process:
carbon dioxide + water--> glucose and oxygen
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
(Aerobic OR anaerobic) respiration takes place in the mitochondria.
Where is aerobic respiration?
All organisms use cellular respiration. (True OR False)
What is True?
The largest man-made structure in space, roughly the size of a football field and weighing nearly a million pounds.
What is the ISS?
Chlorophyll absorbs blue and reflects yellow and green light. (True OR False)
What is True?
The following is the formula for this process:
glucose + oxygen--> carbon dioxide + water
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
The function of this molecule is to store energy (molecule found in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration).
What is ATP, the energy molecule?
