Unit 2: You Are What You Eat

Photosynthesis

100

These are the inputs of photosynthesis.

Water, carbon dioxide, solar energy.

200

These are the outputs of photosynthesis.

Glucose and oxygen 

300

This is the full balanced equation for photosynthesis.

6H2O + 6CO2 + solar energy ---> C6H1206 + 6O2

400

True or False: The amount of energy and matter in the inputs of photosynthesis is the same as the amount of energy and matter in the outputs.

True

500

This is how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related.

The products of one process produce the reactants of the other; Reciprocal/linked processes.

Cellular Respiration

100

These are the inputs of cellular respiration.

Oxygen and glucose.

200

These are the outputs of cellular respiration.

Water, carbon dioxide, ATP and heat.

300

This is the full balanced equation for cellular respiration.

C6H12O6 + 602 ---> 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP + Heat

400

These types of organisms perform cellular respiration.

All living things. (plants and animals)

500

The inner parts of compost perform this type of cellular respiration.

Anaerobic Respiration

Macromolecules

100

These 3 elements are present in all macromolecules.

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

200

This macromolecules stores energy.

Lipids

300

The building block of this macromolecule is monosaccharides.

Carbohydrates

400

This macromolecule helps speed up chemical reactions and aids in immunity.

Proteins

500

This is how amino acids are formed. (Think about the MOLECULE present in all macromolecules)

The elements in glucose (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) are rearranged and combine with nitrogen.

Carbon

100

All living things contain this element.

Carbon

200

This characteristic of carbon makes it essential for many life processes.

It's ability to form 4 bonds.

300

This molecule is more complex than the other: carbon dioxide or glucose.

Glucose

400

True/False: When organic molecules such as glucose are used up, the elements are lost forever as waste.

False
