photosynthesis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| where does photosynthesis occur? | the chloroplast. |
| What does the prefix chloro- mean? | green. |
| What is the equation for photosynthesis? | 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (light) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O |
| what is photosynthesis? | how plants get food, water and energy from the sun |
| why is the color green? | because green absorbs the sun better. |
| other than plants, what other thing can do photosynthesis? | algae and bacteria. |
| why can't humans do photosynthesis? | because we do not have the chloroplast. |
| what are the two kinds of respiration's? | anaerobic and aerobic. |
| what is anaerobic respiration? | doesn't need oxygen. |
| what is another alternative for aerobic respiration? | fermentation. |
| Why don't humans use photosynthesis? | because humans don't have the chloroplast and humans can get their own food. |
| does aerobic respiration use oxygen. | yes. |
| what is the equation for aerobic respiration? | C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (ATP) |
| true or false. anaerobic respiration use oxygen. | true. |
| what are the 3-carbon molecules for glucose? | C6 H12 O6 |
| what is the shortened way of writing energy? | ATP. |
| photosynthesis is the opposite of what? | respiration. |
| what products have fermentation? | food, and drinks. |
| true or false. Not all living organisms perform some kind of respiration. | false. |
| What do plants take in? | carbon dioxide. |
| What do plants give? | oxygen. |
| Where is the sugar made? | in the leaves. |
| What absorbs the water? | roots. |
| what does water turn into? | hydrogen and oxygen. |
