Photosynthesis, Respiration and Respiratory System

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Photosynthesis   Process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy of organic compounds (food)  
🗑
Why is Photosynthesis important?   Give energy to organisms and oxygen  
🗑
Glucose   Gives energy  
🗑
Starch   Glucose is stored as  
🗑
Photosynthesis Equation   Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight -> Glucose + Oxygen  
🗑
Cuticule   A waxy covering that helps to prevent water loss  
🗑
Epidermis   An outer layer on the top and bottom of a leaf that is about a cell thick  
🗑
Stomata   Openings in lower epidermis that allows CO2, O2, and H2O vapor in and out of the leaf  
🗑
Guard Cell   Regulate size of stomata to help to prevent water loss  
🗑
Palisade Layer   The long cells that has more chloroplasts → more photosynthesis  
🗑
Sponge Layer   Contains open spaces with less chloroplasts → less photosynthesis  
🗑
Mesophyll   Between upper and lower epidermis  
🗑
Vascular Tissue / Veins   Xylem and Phloem  
🗑
Xylem   Transports water through plant  
🗑
Phloem   Transports food throughout the plant  
🗑
White Light   All the colors of the rainbow  
🗑
ROYGBIV   Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet  
🗑
Why are plants green?   They absorb all the colors except green which they reflect.  
🗑
Cellular Respiration   The process in which the chemical energy stored in organic compounds (glucose) is released  
🗑
ATP   Adenosine Triphosphate. It is produced during cell respiration  
🗑
ADP   Adenosine Diphosphate, contains only 2 phosphate groups  
🗑
Aerobic Respiration   Oxygen is used to create energy it is very efficient  
🗑
Cellular Respiration Equation   Glucose + Oxygen -> ATP + Carbon Dioxide + Water  
🗑
Anaerobic Respiration   Oxygen is NOT used to make ATP instead fermentation takes place.  
🗑
Ethyl Alcohol Fermentation   Occurs in yeast and bacteria and is used in brewing and baking industries  
🗑
Lactic Acid Fermentation   Occurs in animals as a results in buildup of lactic acid in muscle cells  
🗑
Nose / Nasal Passage   Lined with a ciliate mucus membrane that warm, moisten and filter the air  
🗑
Pharynx   Throat  
🗑
Larynx   Voice box that contain the vocal cords  
🗑
Epiglottis   Muscular flap that covers the trachea when swallowing food or liquid to prevent it from entering the lungs  
🗑
Trachea   the windpipe that is lined with ciliated mucous membranes  
🗑
Bronchi   2 main branches enter lungs  
🗑
Alveoli   Air Sacs that are surrounded by capillaries where gas exchange occurs  
🗑
Diaphragm   Sheet of muscle underneath the lungs that aids in breathing  
🗑
Inhalation   Air traveling into the lungs  
🗑
Exhalation   Air being pushed out of the lungs  
🗑
Medulla Oblongata   Controls the rate of breathing by monitoring the CO2 levels of blood  
🗑
Pneumonia   An infection and inflammation of the lungs when the alveoli fill with fluid and mucus resulting in coughing and difficulty breathing  
🗑
Asthma   An allergic reaction that results in the construction of bronchial muscles which reduces the amount of air able to get into the lungs  
🗑
Bronchitis   Inflammation of the bronchi results in the over - secrete mucus and causes coughing and difficulty breathing  
🗑
Emphysema   the air sacs lose their elasticity and breakdown, which results in less gas exchange. It is caused by smoking  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
