Cellular Energy Flashcards
Why do cells need energy?
To carry out life processes
What is the energy process that uses light energy (sunlight) to produce glucose (sugar)?
Photosynthesis
What is the name of the energy process that breaks down glucose (sugar) to release ATP energy?
Cellular Respiration
What is the cellular respiration formula in WORDS?
Glucose+Oxygen–>Carbon Dioxide+Water+Energy
What is the cellular respiration formula?
C6H12O6+6O2–>6CO2+6H2O+ATP
What is the Photosynthesis formula in WORDS?
Carbon Dioxide+Water+Sunlight–>Glucose+Oxygen
What is the Photosynthesis Formula?
CO2+H2O+Sun–>C6H12O6+6O2
What organism can make its own food?
Autotrophs
What organisms must eat to get their energy?
Heterotrophs
What part of the cell is responsible for Photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
What part of the cell is responsible for Cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
What is aerobic respiration?
breathing when oxygen is present
What is anaerobic respiration?
Breathing when oxygen is lacking or not present
Why is the relationship between Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis important to all living things?
One can’t happen without the other because without CO2 photosynthesis can’t happen and without photosynthesis, oxygen is not produced so cellular respiration can’t take place
