Chapter 8 – Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Flashcards
Which organelle does photosynthesis take place?
 chloroplasts
What organelle in the plant produces chlorophyll and is green in color?
 chloroplast
Define autotroph
Making their own food through photosynthesis(Plants)
What is the carcinoid?
A yellow/orange pigment that causes them to change colors in the fall
Define photosynthesis
The process that plants use to capture energy from sunlight to store as sugar
What is the only source of energy for all cells?
Glucose/the sun
Is stage one of photosynthesis light dependent or light independent?
Light dependent
Define aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Aerobic: a process that requires oxygen
Anaerobic: a process that does not require oxygen
What substance is broken down during cellular respiration?
Glucose/sugar
Where do plants get their energy?
The sun
What happens during photosynthesis if light and carbon dioxide are decreased?
Photosynthesis is reduced
How many ATP are produced during cellular respiration?
36
Where does fermentation occur?
The cytoplasm
Where do light independent reactions occur in the chloroplast?
Thylakoid membrane
