Photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the 3 things plants need to start photosynthesis | Water, Carbon Dioxide and Energy from the sun |
| What are the 2 things produced by the process of photosynthesis? | Glucose (sugar) and Oxygen |
| What is the major food producing organ in the plant? | Leaves |
| What is photosynthesis? | a series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose, and give off oxygen. |
| Which layer has the stomata embedded in it? | Lower Epidermal Layer |
| Where do gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen, enter and exit the plant? | Stoma or Stomata |
| True or False: Green plants reflect all colors but green. | False |
| Where is chlorophyll located? | Chloroplast |
| What structure captures light energy for the plant? | Chlorophyll |
| What are made in the second step of photosynthesis? | Sugars |
| What combines together to form sugar molecules? | Carbon dioxide and water |
| How is the position of the palisade mesophyll cells within the leaf related to its function? | It allows the most cells to obtain the most sunlight for the plant |
| What is cellular respiration? | a series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP |
| What two parts of the cell does cellular respiration take place? | Cytoplasm and mitochondria |
| What is the first step of cellular respiration? | Glycolysis |
| What is glycolysis? | a process by which glucose is broken down into smaller particles |
| Where does glycolysis take place? | Cytoplasm |
| Where does the second step of cellular respiration take place? | Mitochondria |
| What is gas is required to break down glucose during cellular respiration | Oxygen |
| What is produced in large amounts during the second step of cellular respiration? | ATP (Energy) |
| What two waste products are given off during the second step of cellular respiration? | Carbon Dioxide and water |
| Which waste product is used by plants during photosynthesis? | Carbon Dioxide |
| Why is photosynthesis important? | Because plants help maintain the atmosphere you breathe. It also produces most of the oxygen in the atmosphere. |
| Why is cellular respiration important? | Because if you body did not break down and rearrange the food you eat, you would not have energy to do anything. Plants produce their own food but without cellular respiration, plants could not grow, reproduce, or repair tissues. |
