Photo+Respiration
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Word Formula for Respiration | Glucose + Oxygen ---------> ATP + Carbon Dioxide + Water |
| Chemical Formula for Respiration | C6 H12 O6 + 6 O2 ----------> ATP + 6 CO2 + 6 H2O |
| Word Formula for Photosynthesis | Carbon Dioxide + Water ------Sun------> Glucose + Oxygen |
| Chemical Formula for Photosynthesis | 6 CO2 + 6 H2O ------Sun----> C6 H12 O6 + 6 O2 |
| Chloroplast | The organelle that has chlorophyll in it. Chlorophyll is a green pigment that captures the sun's energy. |
| Heterotroph | An organism that can not make glucose- food- using the sun's energy. |
| Autotroph | An organism that can make glucose- food- using the sun's enrgy. |
| Raw Materials | The materials you start out with to make a product. Example: Raw Materials in Photosynthesis are- Water and Carbon Dioxide. |
| Product | What is made from the Raw Materials. Example: Products from Photosynthesis- Glucose and Oxygen. |
| Why do the leaves in New England change color in the Fall? | There is less sunlight- shorter days. Because of the shorter time of light the leaves do not make as much chlorophyll. This allows us to see the other pigments that are contained in the leaves. |
| Mitochondria | The organelle, in all cells, that take glucose and oxygen, break them apart, to release ATP cellular energy. |
| Stomata | The holes in the underside of the leaf that allow Carbon Dioxide to enter the leaf , and Water and Oxygen to leave the leaf. |
| roots | Structures on plants that bring in the water. They are usually found in the ground. |
| Glucose | The sugar that plant cells make. It is made of 6 Carbons, 12 Hydrogens and 6 Oxygens to form a molecule of glucose. |
| Respiration | There are 2 types of Respiration. One is where you are bringing in oxygen to your lungs where the blood will pick it up and carry it to the cells. The other kind is called Cellular Respiration. |
| Cellular Respiration | When all cells bring glucose and oxygen to the mitochondria. In the mitochondria the molecules are broken apart to release ATP - cellular energy- that will be used for all functions of the cell. Plant and Animal cells do Cellular Respiration. |
