Photosynthesis
100
The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.
What is chloroplasts.
100
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells.
What are mitochondria?
100

Biochemical process that breaks down glucose into ATP energy allowing us to think, breath, and move.  Basically, we would not be alive without it.

What is cellular respiration?

100

A molecule that captures sunlight?

What are pigments (chlorophyll)?

100
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What are Chloroplasts?
200

This is where water enters the plants.

What are roots? 

200

Glucose is converted into small packets of energy that is a usable source of energy for the cell.  

What is ATP?

200

Increased trees means that there is more photosynthesis occurring. More photosynthesis means there is more food for animals, which means that more animals can live.

What is the effect of planting more trees in an area?

200
The pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis?
What is chlorophyll?
200
Carbon Dioxide, Water
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
300

How can the water vapor we breath out end up in the root of a plant?  

What is the water cycle?  

300

Two molecules required for cellular respiration to take place.  

What are glucose and oxygen?

300

The biochemical cycles that keep the amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen fairly constant in the atmosphere

What is the cycle made by photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

300
The city hall of the cell. It directs traffic and tells the rest of the cell what to do.
What is the nucleus?
300
Glucose and Oxygen.
What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?
400

Photosynthesis converts sun energy into this important molecule.  

What is glucose?  

400

Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP

What are the products of cellular respiration?

400
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.
What is photosynthesis?
400

In the plant and snail experiment, what did the snail provide for the plant?  

What is Carbon Dioxide?

400

Type of energy required for photosynthesis but not considered a reactant.  

What is sunlight?

500
The holes in the bottom of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf.
What are stomata?
500

The main function of cellular respiraion.  

The breakdown of glucose into ATP 

500

This process will screech to a halt if Arkansas goes into a major drought in the summer?

What is photosynthesis?

500

In the plant and snail experiment, what did the plant provide for the snail? 

What is oxygen?

500
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Sugar + Oxygen
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
