Photosynthesis and Respiration

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

Question
Answer
Autotrophs   Organisms that make their own food. Example: Plants use energy from the sun to make their own food.  
🗑
Heterotrophs   Organisms that cannot make their own food and must consume food to obtain energy.  
🗑
ATP   Adenosine triphosphate. The principal chemical compound that cells use to store and release energy.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   The process by which an organism, usually a plant, uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into high energy sugars and oxygen  
🗑
Photosynthesis formula   6CO2 + 6H2O in the presence of light produces C6H12O6 + 6O2. Carbon dioxide + water in the presence of light produces sugars + oxygen  
🗑
Requirements for Photosynthesis   Water, carbon dioxide, light, and chlorophyll inside the chloroplasts of the cell  
🗑
Chlorophyll   The plants' principal light absorbing pigment used to gather the sun's energy. Located in the chlorplasts of the plant cell.  
🗑
Thylakoids   Photosynthetic membranes contained in the chloroplast where chlorophyll and other pigments are located. The light dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place here.  
🗑
Stroma   The region outside the chloroplast in which reactions not dependent on light (light independent) take place.  
🗑
Calorie   The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius.  
🗑
Glycolysis   The process in which one molecule of glucose is broken in half, producing two molecules of ATP. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.  
🗑
Cellular respiration   The process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.  
🗑
Fermentation   Releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP in the absence of oxygen.  
🗑
Anaerobic   Chemical processes that take place in the absence of oxygen.  
🗑
Aerobic   Chemical process that require oxygen.  
🗑
Equation for Cellular Respiration   6O2 + C6H12O6 produces 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy in the form of ATP  
🗑
Alcoholic Fermentation   Used by yeast and a few other organisms. The final products are ethyl alcohol and CO2. This is the process used to make bread dough rise.  
🗑
Lactic Acid Fermentation   As a result of glycolysis, lactic acid is produced as a waste product. Lactic acid is produced in muscles during rapid exercise when the body cannot supply enough oxygen. This can cause muscle soreness.  
🗑
Mitochondria   The site of cellular respiration that utilizes the Krebs Cycle and the electron transport chain to produce ATP  
🗑
Total ATP Production from glycolysis and cellular respiration   36 ATP molecules  
🗑
Compare the functions of Photosynthesis vs. Respiration   Photosynthesis--Energy capture. Cellular Respiration--Energy release.  
🗑
Location of Photosynthesis vs. Respiration   Photosynthesis = chloroplast Respiration = mitochondria  
🗑
Reactants Photosynthesis vs. Respiration   Photosynthesis = CO2 and H20; Respiration = C6H12O6 and O2  
🗑
Products Photosynthesis vs. Respiration   Photosynthesis = C6H12O6 and O2; Respiration = CO2 and H2O  
🗑


   

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.
