Term | Definition |
products of photosynthesis | oxygen and glucose |
raw materials of photosynthesis (starting materials) | carbon dioxide and water |
products of respiration | carbon dioxide, water, and energy |
raw materials of respiration | glucose and oxygen |
define: photosynthesis | the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. |
organelle in photosynthesis | Chloroplasts |
organelle for respiration | Mitochondria |
equation for photosynthesis | 6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
formula for glucose | C6H12O6 |
characteristics of all plants | multicellular, chlorophyll, cellulose cell wall, roots or root structures, eukaryotic, adapted to nearly every environment, immobile, most have cuticle or waxy protective layer, need water, light, minerals, nutrients and CO2. |
difference between vascular and non-vascular plants | vascular(internal, tube-like structures:xylem and phloem) and non-vascular (no tubes) |
gymnosperms | seed-producing plants that includes conifers, cycads, Ginkgo, and Gnetales. The term "gymnosperm" comes from the Greek meaning "naked seeds", after the unenclosed condition of their seeds (called ovules in their unfertilized state). |
conifers | Typical examples of conifers include cedars, Douglas-firs, cypresses, firs, junipers, kauri, larches, pines, hemlocks, redwoods, spruces, and yews |
angiosperms | flowering plants, Angiosperms are seed-producing plants |
examples of cold-blooded animals | reptiles, amphibians, fish (turtles, snakes, clownfish) |
examples of crustaceans | lobsters, crabs, shrimp, barnacles |
examples of seedless vascular plants | whisk ferns, horsetails, ferns, club mosses |
producers | bottom of the food chain, grass, wheat (plants) and phytoplankton |
decomposers | mushrooms, fungi, earthworms |
arthropods | characteristics: sheds exoskeleton to grow, paired jointed appendages, segmented bodies, bilateral symmetry, circulatory system is open and dorsal (on the back), nervous system is ventral (belly) |
characteristics of mollusks | unsegmented soft body most have internal or external shell have a mantle - a fold in the body wall that secretes the hard prtesctive shell muscular foot and/or tentacles have a radula - a toothed structure used to grate food two pairs of gills |
Characteristics of sponges (Porifera) | exoskeleton, respiration through diffusion of oxygen from flow of oxygen through the body, mainly immobile |
