Write out the formula for Respiration.
C6H12+O6=CO2+H2O+cellular energy
This formula represents the process by which organisms convert glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
Write out the formula for Photosynthesis.
CO2+H2O+sunlight=C6H12O6(sugar)+O2
This formula describes how photosynthetic organisms convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.
Photosynthesis is an endothermic or exothermic chemical reaction?
endothermic
It involves the conversion of light energy into ATP energy by photosynthetic organisms.
Respiration is an endothermic or exothermic chemical reaction?
exothermic
It converts stored energy into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water by all life forms.
Where does photosynthesis take place?
In the chloroplast
The chloroplast is the organelle where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells.
Label the photosynthetic structure: A.
Outer Membrane
This is the outermost layer of the chloroplast.
Label the photosynthetic structure: B.
Stroma
The fluid-filled space inside the chloroplast where the Calvin cycle occurs.
Label the photosynthetic structure: C.
Granum
A stack of thylakoids within the chloroplast.
Label the photosynthetic structure: D.
Thylakoid
Membrane-bound structures where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.
Label the photosynthetic structure: E.
Inner membrane
The membrane that encloses the stroma and thylakoids in the chloroplast.
Which organisms perform photosynthesis?
- Plants
- Protists
- Bacteria
These organisms are capable of converting light energy into chemical energy.
What is an autotroph?
Things that make their own food
Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own nutrients from inorganic substances.
What is a producer?
Living thing that produces its own food
Producers are typically autotrophs that generate energy through photosynthesis.
What are the two phases of photosynthesis?
- Absorption of light
- Conversion of light energy to ATP
These phases are essential for the production of glucose in photosynthesis.
What does cellular respiration break down?
Cellular respiration breaks the bonds of hydrogen and releases energy
This process allows organisms to utilize stored energy.
What is a heterotroph?
Organisms that don’t make their own food
Heterotrophs rely on other organisms for their energy and nutrients.
What is a consumer?
Organisms who consume food made by producers
Consumers are typically heterotrophs that obtain energy by eating other organisms.
What are the 3 steps of Cellular Respiration?
- Glycolysis
- Krebs cycle
- Electron transport chain
These steps are crucial for the conversion of glucose into usable energy.
What part of cellular respiration does NOT require oxygen?
Glycolysis
Glycolysis can occur in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
What is alcohol fermentation and what organisms perform this?
Converts sugar into 2 pyruvates molecules.
Performed by yeast and used in liquor production.
What is lactic acid fermentation and what organisms perform this?
Converts sugar into 2 pyruvates.
Performed by muscles, bacteria, fungus, and yogurt.
Energy from organic molecules can be stored in ATP molecules as a direct result of the process of __________.
cellular respiration
This process is essential for energy transfer in living organisms.
What are guard cells and what is their job?
Makes sure that your cells stay healthy and get rid of all the unsafe bacteria’s.
Guard cells regulate the opening and closing of stomata in plant leaves.
