Plants
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.

Mitochondria

100
It converts food into energy, allowing us to think, breathe, and move. Basically, we would not be alive without it.
What is cellular respiration?
100

The organelle that captures sunlight and converts it to glucose

Chloroplasts

100

When do plants go through cellular respiration?

At night

200

This is where water enters the plants.

What are roots? or What is the ground?

200
The process cells use to take food energy and turn it into ATP.
What is Cellular Respiration?
200

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

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

200

Aerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that requires which gas?

Oxygen

200

What are the inputs of photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide and H2O (Water)

300

The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.

The atmosphere

300

What are the inputs of cellular respiration?

Glucose and Oxygen

300
The cycle that keeps 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

What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?

Glucose and Oxygen.

400

Why is photosynthesis so important?

Photosynthesis converts sun energy into food, making energy available for plants and animals. It also makes Oxygen, which we need to breathe.

400

What are the outputs of cellular respiration?

Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP

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

What organelle generates energy for the cell?

The mitochondrion

400

The original energy source

Sunlight

500

What are places that carbon is stored?

Wood, Plants, Ground, etc.

500

The energy currency of the cell

What is ATP

500
This process will screech to a halt if Sacramento goes into a major drought in the summer?
What is photosynthesis?
500
Do the atoms that make up carbon dioxide, water, and sugar flow or cycle through a system?
What is cycle?
500

Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Sugar + Oxygen

Photosynthesis
