Passive and Active transport, photosythesis, repiration, etc.
Question | Answer |
---|---|
the process by which a cell captures energy from the sun is called...? | photosynthesis |
... is an organism that cannot make its own food. | a heterotroph |
what is the first step of photosynthesis? | capturing the sun's energy. |
what are pigments? | colored chemical compounds that absorb light. |
What is chlorophyll? | it is the main pigment in chloroplasts. |
what is step 2 in photosynthesis? | step two is to use light energy to make food for the cell. |
what are the stomata? | tiny openings on the undersides of the leaf from which carbon dioxide enters the plant. |
what is the photosynthesis equation? | 6CO2 + 6H2O →C6H12O6+602 |
in the photosynthesis equation what does the arrow mean? | yields, or sunlight. |
what are the raw products of photosynthesis? | water and carbon dioxide |
what are the products of photosynthesis? | sugar and oxygen |
what is an element? | an element is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances |
a________ is two or more elements chemically combined. | compound |
most chemical reactions could not take place without what substance? | water |
what is an organic compound? | one that contains carbon |
_________ means that some substances can pass through the membrane, while others cannot. | selectively permeable |
what is the main method by which small molecules can move across the cell membrane? | diffusion |
___________ is the diffusion of water. | osmosis |
there are two types of active transport, what are they? | transport proteins and engulfing |
what is the process of obtaining energy from cells? | respiration |
what happens during the first stage of respiration, and where? | the molecules of glucose are broken down into smaller molecules int he cytoplasm |
what happens during the second stage of respiration, and where? | the molecules are broken down further in the mitochondria, using oxygen, which provides a lot of energy. |
what is the respiration equation? | C6H12O6+602→6CO2 + 6H2O, the reverse of the photosynthesis equation |
________ provides energy to the cells without using oxygen? | fermentation |
what is it called when microorganisms like yeast break down sugars, and alcohol is one of the products? | alcoholic fermentation |
what happens in your body when you are not able to take in enough oxygen for your cells to continue respiration? | lactic acid fermentation, of which one of the products is lactic acid. |
