If a plant died from lack of food, which structure is most likely missing or damaged?
leaves
Which structure is where photosynthesis occurs?
chloroplast
What is a reaction that makes ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide? Is it aerobic or anaerobic?
Anaerobic
As the cells run out of oxygen they switch to _______________ respiration, which allows the cell to make small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.
anaerobic
What structure is the site of cellular respiration?
mitochondria
What function does ATP carry out in living things?
used to capture and transfer energy
Which process do the animals in the food web use to convert energy from food into ATP?
respiration
Organisms that make their own food are called:
autotrophs
What are the 3 parts of an ATP molecule?
adenine, sugar (ribose), phosphate group
Energy is released from ATP when what group is removed?
a phosphate group is removed
Between which parts of the ATP molecule must bonds be broken to form ADP?

Dark reaction
The Calvin Cycle takes place in the
stroma
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related, in terms of energy?
The energy captured in photosynthesis is used to power cellular respiration.
