Before Photosynthesis
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells.
What are mitochondria?
It converts food into energy, allowing us to think, breathe, and move. Basically, we would not be alive without it.
What is cellular respiration?
A molecule (compound) that captures sunlight.
What are chlorophyll/pigments?
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What are Chloroplasts?
The process cells use to take food energy and turn it into ATP.
What is Cellular Respiration?
The effect of planting more trees in an area.
What is 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. And more oxygen to breathe.
The pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll?
Carbon Dioxide, Water
What are the reactants/inputs of photosynthesis?
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
What is the atmosphere, air or animals?
Glucose and Oxygen
What are the reactants/inputs of cellular respiration?
The cycle/processes that keeps the amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen fairly constant in the atmosphere
What is the cycle made by photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
The brain of the cell. It tells the rest of the cell what to do.
What is the nucleus?
Glucose and Oxygen.
What are the products/outputs of Photosynthesis?
The importance of photosynthesis.
What is photosynthesis converts sun energy into food, making energy available for plants and animals? It also makes Oxygen, which we need to breathe.
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
What are the products/outputs of cellular respiration?
How energy moves through an ecosystem.
What is flows/cycles/recycles?
It is not a physical input to photosynthesis, but is required for the reaction to proceed. Because of this, we write this form of energy above the arrow in the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
The holes in the bottom of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf.
What are stoma/stomata?
The energy currency of the cell
What is ATP?
This process will screech to a halt if Loudon goes into a major drought in the summer?
What is photosynthesis?
The atoms that make up carbon dioxide, water, oxygen and glucose flow/cycle through a system by these processes.
What are photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Glucose+ Oxygen
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
