Photosynthesis 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Radiant Energy | Energy from the sun that reaches Earth as Visible light |
| The three types of energy in radiant energy | Visible light, Ultraviolet light, infrared radiation |
| Glucose | A single molecule used by organisms for energy |
| Glucose carries out the following body functions | regulating body temperature and muscle movement |
| Chemical Energy | Potential Energy that is stored in chemical compounds |
| Photosynthesis | A chemical reaction that occurs in green plants |
| photosynthesis also converts carbon dioxide gas and water to | sugar |
| Chemical equation for photosynthesis | 6H2O+ 6COx --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| Reactants | A substance(s) that takes part and undergoes change during a reaction |
| Reactants involved in Photosynthesis | 6H2o + 6CO2 |
| Products | A substance produced during a chemical reaction |
| Products formed during photosynthesis | --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| Glucose | A molecule of stored energy that was converted from radiant energy during the process of photosynthesis |
| Conservation of Matter | states that matter cn be neither be created nor destroyed |
| Conservation of Energy | The total amount of energy in an isolated system remains _________ over time; it can change from within the system (Chemical Energy can become mechanical energy, but that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. |
| Mitochondria | Turns glucose into energy. These are the energy factories of the cell. |
| chloroplast | Found only in plant cells and some protozoans (one celled animals); where phtotosynthesis occurs in the cell |
| Products | Substance (s) produced during a chemical reaction |
| Chemical Equation | Chemical Formulas and symbols written to represent a reaction |
| Carbon Dioxide and Water | Reactants found in the photosynthesis equation |
| Glucose and Oxygen | Products of the Photosynthesis equation |
