Cellular Respiration
What is the process cells use to take food energy and turn it into ATP?
Cellular respiration
What is the organelle in which photosynthesis occurs?
Chloroplasts
What is cellular respiration?
The conversion of glucose into usable energy for cells. It occurs in all living organisms!
What organelle produces energy for cells?
Mitochondria
What 2 colors are absorbed (i.e. not reflected) during photosynthesis?
Red and blue
What is the organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells?
Mitochondria
Why do plants have to make glucose?
They can't eat it
What is photosynthesis?
The conversion of light energy into glucose, which is then stored in the plant.
What are the definitions of aerobic and anaerobic?
Aerobic: requires oxygen. Anaerobic: does not require oxygen.
What is the difference between ADP and ATP?
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Glucose and oxygen
What happens to the glucose that plants create?
It is stored for later use
What process does NOT need oxygen and occurs in the cytoplasm?
Fermentation (also glycolysis)
What are the two types of fermentation?
Alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation
What organisms (other than plants) do photosynthesis?
Protists (algae, diatoms) and photosynthetic bacteria (cyanobacteria)
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
What biomolecule is glucose?
CARBOHYDRATE
What three factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Light, carbon dioxide, temperature (also water)
Where does carbon dioxide come from before entering the leaf.
The atmosphere?
How do enzymes play a role in cellular respiration?
They speed up energy production in the mitochondria.
What is ATP and what does ATP stand for?
A cell's usable form of energy, adenosine triphosphate
Draw on the board a picture of photosynthesis. Include the inputs and outputs.
Inputs: Sunlight, CO2, H2O on one side of plant
Outputs: O2 and glucose on the other side of plant
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + solar energy => C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the holes in the bottom of leaves through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf and oxygen exits the leaf?
Stomata
What are the 2 other pigments found in leaves?
Carotenoids (orange/red) and Xanthophylls (yellow/brown)
