Cycles & Energy
cellular respiration, photosynthesis, energy cycle, water cycle, nitrogen, CO2
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is Anaerobic? | A type of cellular respiration that follows a less efficient chemical pathway to provide energy for a cell |
How is ATP made? | ATP is made when molecules are broken down because when we eat, the bonds get broken apart and ATP is released. We use ATP for our muscles. |
What are the Levels of Organization? | Cells = Tissue = Organs = Organism = Populations = Communities =Ecosystems |
What is the difference between an Autotroph and a Heterotroph? | Autotrophs are the producers Heterotrophs are the consumers |
How do you make carbohydrates? | Glucose combined=Carbohydrates in photosynthesis |
What are the cycles of matter? | A cycle where an important piece of matter is recycled over and over again. Some include the water cycle, nitrogen cycle, and carbon cycle |
What makes the morning dew? | Transpiration |
How does Nitrogen get into the soil? | Nitrogen bonds could be split by lightning, or Nitrogen compounds in the organic matter re-enter the soil where they are broken down by microorganisms, known as decomposers |
How does carbon return to the atmosphere? | Return when plants or animals respirate |
How long does it take for a water droplet to go through the entire water cycle? | 3,000 to 4,000 years |
Where do plants get the nitrogen they need? | Bacteria breaks down organic matter into nitrogen in the soil. Bacteria then turns it into ammonia, then nitrates, and put it into the roots. |
What is the process called when ammonia is take out of then atmosphere and into plants? | Dentrification |
What 4 substances are recycled during photosynthesis and cellular respiration? | oxygen, carbon, glucose, and water |
How do organisms get energy? | Eating other plants and animals |
What is photosynthesis? | Photosynthesis is the process by which plants transform light energy from the sun into chemical energy or food |
What organelle does photosynthesis occur? | Chloroplast |
What is Chlorophyll's job in photosynthesis? | Pigments in chlorophyll attract sunlight and takes it to use for chloroplast. The color or chlorophyll makes the plant green. |
Reactants of Photosynthesis | Carbon Dioxide + Water |
Products of Photosynthesis | Oxygen + Glucose |
What is another way to name glucose? | C6H12O6 |
What is the difference between Chemo synthetic Organisms and Photosynthetic Organisms? | Chemosynthetic= obtain food Photosynthetic= create food |
What is a Lipid? | Lipids are macro molecules that are the building blocks of cells. They are fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins, and hormones. |
What is a Protein? | Support the structure, and function of the body, and regulate the body tissues and organs |
What is a Carbohydrate? | sugars, starches, and fibers found in fruits, grains, veges, and milk products. |
What are Amino Acids? | organic compounds that combine to form proteins |
What do animals use energy for? | Animals use energy for being able to move around and work a muscle or bone, and work the body's organs. |
What do plants use energy for? | Plants use energy to process photosynthesis, and also to make its own food. |
What is Cellular Respiration | A process in which bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken, and new compounds are formed, that can transport energy especially to the muscles. |
What cell organelle works cellular respiration? | Mitrochondria |
Reactants of Cellular Respiration | oxygen + glucose |
Products of Cellular Respiration | ATP + water + carbon |
