cellular respiration & photosynthesis test Flashcards
 where is food and energy stored
Chemical bonds
what is chlorophyll
A green pigment found in chloroplast that absorb light energy
what are chloroplast
plant organelles that are found in the leaves
what are the reactants of photosynthesis
6co2 + 6h2o + sun
what are the products of photosynthesis
c6h12o6 + 6o2
what is a light dependent reaction and where does it take place
Solar energy being used to create ATP, takes place in the thylakoids
what is the equation for glucose
c6h12o6
what are light independent reactions and where do they take place
carbon dioxide is used to produce sugar, no light is required, and it takes place in the stroma
What is the function of the stomata
stomata control gas exchange within the leaves
Why did the leaves change color in the fall
there is less sunlight meaning less chlorophyll. in this case the carotenoids are used
what is cellular respiration
The use of oxygen to break down glucose and create ATP
where does cellular respiration occur
Mitochondria
what are the three parts of aerobic respiration
glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain
describe glycolysis
anaerobic, produces two pyruvate‘s, And produces to ATP
what is a pyruvate
A six carbon glucose broken in half into two 3 carbon molecules
