MATTER
Living AND dead organisms are made of this type of matter
Biotic matter
The chemical reaction between O₂ and glucose that releases energy
Cellular respiration
The 2 INPUTS (reactants) of cellular respiration
Oxygen and glucose
Organisms that make their own energy storage molecules
Producers
In the snail & Elodea lab, BOTH organisms gave off this gas
Carbon dioxide
Water, rocks, and air are examples of this type of matter
Abiotic matter
The organelle where cellular respiration takes place
Mitochondria
The 3 OUTPUTS (products) of cellular respiration
Energy, CO₂, and water
Organisms that break down dead matter and release CO₂
Decomposers
Why the Elodea plant gave off CO₂ — not just the snail
It also performs cellular respiration
This molecule is made of carbon AND oxygen atoms
Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
Cellular respiration does NOT need this — but photosynthesis does
Sunlight
This energy storage molecule is a reactant in cellular respiration
Glucose
Why producers make MORE energy molecules than they use
To provide energy and building blocks for the whole ecosystem
In a dark cave, where does the ecosystem's energy ultimately come from?
Producers outside the cave, brought in by fruit bats
A dead fish is considered this type of matter
Biotic matter
TRUE or FALSE: Only consumers perform cellular respiration
False — ALL organisms do
Fill in the blank: "Reactants are _____ and glucose"
Oxygen
How silkworms get energy storage molecules from mulberry trees
They eat the leaves
Why there are no producers making energy inside the cave
No sunlight reaches the cave for photosynthesis
Name BOTH types of matter found in every ecosystem
Biotic and abiotic
These 3 types of organisms ALL perform cellular respiration
Producers, consumers, and decomposers
This gas is produced by cellular respiration AND used by photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide
Silkworms, consumers, and decomposers all depend on producers for these
Energy storage molecules
The organism that links outside energy to the cave ecosystem
Fruit bats
