| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is photosynthesis? | The process in which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water to make glucose. This occurs in the chloroplast. |
| What goes into the plant? | Sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. |
| What goes out of the plant? | Oxygen and glucose. |
| What is chlorophyll? | Green pigment found in the chloroplast. |
| What is the photosynthesis equation? | 6CO2+6H2O+light energy=C6H12O6+6O2 |
| What are the reactants in the photosynthesis equation? | 6CO2 (carbon dioxide), 6H2O (water), and light energy. |
| What are the products in the photosynthesis equation? | C6H12O6 (glucose), and 6O2 (oxygen). |
| How is glucose used in photosynthesis? | The glucose made in photosynthesis is used as an energy source in cellular respiration. |
| Where does a large percentage of Earth's photosynthesis occur? | In algae. |
| Define leaves | Where photosynthesis takes place in a plant (contains millions of chloroplast). |
| Define stomates (stoma) | Tiny openings on the underside of the leaf. |
| What is cellular respiration? | Cellular respiration is the process in which all organisms convert food into energy in their cells. |
| What is the cellular respiration equation? | C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O+ATP(energy) |
| Where does cellular respiration occur? | In the mitochondria. |
| How is the energy made from cellular respiration stored? | It is stored in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). |
| How is ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) formed? | It is formed when ATP is broken down. |
| What does aerobic mean? | Uses oxygen. |
| What does anaerobic mean? | Does not use oxygen. |
| Define anaerobic respiration? | It is fast but does not produce as much ATP as aerobic respiration. |
| Where does anaerobic respiration take place? | It takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell. |
| Where does lactic acid fermentation take place? | Occurs in animal cells. |
| What are the products of lactic acid fermentation? | Lactic acid and 2 ATPs. |
| What does lactic acid fermentation do? | It causes muscles to feel tired and sore after exercise. |
| Where does alcoholic fermentation take place? | Occurs in plant and yeast cells. |
| What are the products of alcoholic fermentation? | Ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide, and 2 ATPs. |
