Photosynthesis
What is the name of the process in which plants produce food?
Photosynthesis
What is cellular respiration?
The process by which organisms break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions.
Why do plants need to perform photosynthesis?
For food so they will have energy to grow and reproduce.
Do all animals need to eat the same amount of food to get energy?
No
What is one main difference between plant cells and animal cells?
Plant cells have chloroplast where photosynthesis takes place
In what part of the plant does photosynthesis take place?
The leaves
Where does the energy in photosynthesis and cellular respiration come from?
What does a plant need to survive? List three
sunlight, carbon dioxide, space, and water
What part of an animal cell breaks down food for energy?
The mitochondria
What are mitochondria?
organelles that supply energy to the cell
What three things are needed for a plant to preform photosynthesis?
water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide
What are three products of cellular respiration?
water, carbon dioxide, energy
What is able to pass through the cell wall of a plant cell? List 2
Water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide
What are the main needs of animals to be able to survive? List 3
food, water, oxygen, shelter,
Why do some types of animal cells have more mitochondria?
Yes, the amount is based on how much energy the animal needs to move and grow.
What is Chlorophyll?
Pigment that absorbs light during photosynthesis
What is the process of transpiration?
Loss of water through the plant leaves
How do animals get energy to meet these needs?
