Q

Photosynthesis is and requires/produces/wastefully makes

A

The purpose of photosynthesis is to provide food for plants. Photosynthesis converts light, water (H2O), & carbon dioxide (CO2) into glucose & oxygen (O2); plants use glucose–a type of sugar–for food & to grow, creating roots, stems, leaves, & other parts of the plant.
It requires: Sunlight + CO2 + H2O
Makes: Glucose as food
Waste Products: O2 & H2O

Q

(Gas Exchange) Stomates and Guard Cells

A

Stomates are holes under a leaf that let gasses in and out

Guard Cells open and close stomates to prevent dehydration

Q

Aerobic respiration is used by most organisms, which..

A

Does require oxygen and is carried out in the mitochondria. Generally produces more ATP.

Q

Anerobic is used by less organisms, which…

A

Do not require oxygen, and are generally simpler organisms. This type of respiration produces less ATP than aerobic respiration.

17
Q

Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration are opposite reactions! And they are also important for cycling oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and water through the environment. Give the formulas for processes.

A

Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O2 + ATP
