Photosynthesis & Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What do catabolic pathways do? | Break down organic molecules for energy |
| What do anabolic pathways do? | Build up organic molecules to store energy for later use |
| What is the equation for aerobic respiration? | C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O --> 6CO2 + 12H20 + energy (ATP) |
| What is the equation for photosynthesis? | 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (light) --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O |
| What is ATP? | Adenosine Triphosphate |
| What does ATP do? | Gives off energy to cells |
| What is ATP made up of? | Adenine, Ribose(sugar), and three phosphate groups. |
| Living things that get food by eating other living things are known as. | Heterotrophs |
| Living things that make their own food are known as. | Autotrophs |
| What is photosynthesis? | The process by which autotrophs use the energy of sunlight to produce high-energy carbohydrates(sugars and starches) that can be used as food. |
| What happens during photosynthesis? | Plants change the energy of sunlight into chemical energy stored in the bonds of carbohydrates. |
| Plants gather the sun's energy with light absorbing molecules called? | Pigments |
| What role do pigments play in the process of photosynthesis? | Living things that carry out photosynthesis use pigments to get energy from sunlight. |
| Where does photosynthesis take place? | In the chloroplasts. |
| What are the two stages of photosynthesis? | Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions. |
| What happens during the light-dependent reactions? | The light-dependent reactions use water and energy from sunlight to make oxygen and change ADP and NADP into the energy carriers ATP and NADPH. |
| What happens during the light-independent reactions? | ATP and NADPH are used to make high-energy sugars. |
| What factors affect photosynthesis? | Temperature, light intensity, and the availability of water. |
| Where do organisms get energy? | From food |
| What is cellular respiration? | The process that releases energy from food when oxygen is present. |
| What is the equation for cellular respiration? | Oxygen + Glucose --> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy(ATP) |
| What is aerobic respiration? | A process of respiration that requires oxygen |
| What is anaerobic respiration? | A process of respiration that does not require oxygen |
| What is fermentation? | The process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen. |
