The Basics of Photosynthesis
This is the primary energy source that plants must absorb to begin the process of photosynthesis
What is sunlight?
This is the main goal of cellular respiration—turning food into this for growth and life processes.
What is energy (ATP)?
This process stops completely when there is no sunlight available.
What is photosynthesis?
This is the chemical formula for Carbon Dioxide.
What is CO2?
This term describes the relationship between the products of one reaction and the reactants of the other.
What are "the exact opposite"?
In addition to oxygen, this carbohydrate is produced by plants during photosynthesis to provide food for growth.
What is sugar (or glucose/carbohydrate)?
Unlike photosynthesis, which occurs in the chloroplast, cellular respiration occurs in this organelle.
What is the mitochondria?
Of the two processes, this one occurs in a plant during both the day and the night.
What is cellular respiration?
This is the chemical formula for Water.
What is H20?
Photosynthesis creates this gas, which is then used by almost all organisms for respiration.
What is oxygen?
These two "reactants" go into a plant to help it create food.
What are carbon dioxide ($CO_{2}$) and water ($H_{2}O$)?
This three-letter acronym represents the specific form of energy created during the process of respiration
What is ATP?
These are the two processes occurring simultaneously in a plant during daylight hours.
What are photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
This chemical formula represents the sugar or carbohydrate produced during photosynthesis: C6H12O6
What is glucose?
Cellular respiration creates this gas as a waste product, which is then used by plants for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
While plants are the most common, these two other types of organisms are also capable of performing photosynthesis
What are algae and bacteria?
These are the two specific "products" that come out of the cellular respiration reaction.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
During the night, a plant continues to use this gas for respiration even though it is no longer producing it.
What is oxygen?
In the photosynthesis equation, these two molecules are the "products" (what comes OUT).
What are C6H12O6 (Sugar) and O2 (Oxygen)?
In plants, this organelle is the site where energy is stored in glucose, while the mitochondria is the site where that energy is released.
What is the chloroplast?
This is the specific pigment found inside chloroplasts that is responsible for absorbing sunlight
What is chlorophyll?
This is how animals obtain the glucose necessary to begin the process of cellular respiration
What is by eating food?
Because it is found in nearly every organism on Earth, this process is considered a constant part of an organism's life cycle.
What is cellular respiration?
In the cellular respiration equation, these two molecules act as the "reactants" (what goes IN).
What are C6H12O6 (Carbohydrate) and O2 (Oxygen)?
Photosynthesis stores solar energy in glucose, while respiration releases energy in this usable form. Hint: it is a molecule.
What is ATP?
