Photosynthesis Flashcards
ability to do work; cannot be created. but only transformed
energy
gets energy from inorganic substances to make it’s own food, producer
autotroph
organism that cannot make it’s own food, consumer
heterotroph
all of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism
metabolism
two phase pathway in which the sun’s light energy is converted to chemical for use by the cell
photosynthesis
pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell
cellular respiration
energy carrying biological molecule, which when broken down drives cellular activities
adenosine triphosphate (atp)
sugar made from photosynthesis
glucose
Reactants of photosynthesis? (what causes it)
CO2 and H2O are the reactants of photosynthesis.
Products of photosynthesis?
Glucose and o2 are the products of photosynthesis.`
What are the reactants of cellular respiration? (cause)
Glucose and o2 are the reactants of cellular respiration.
What are the products of cellular respiration?
CO2 and H2O are the products of cellular respiration.
What is the role of ATP in organisms?
The role of ATP in organisms is to transfer energy within cells.
What organisms perform respiration?
ALL
The process in which sunlight energy is used to make glucose
Photosynthesis
Where does photosynthesis occur?
In the chloroplast
What are chloroplasts and where are they found?
Chloroplasts are organelles and are found in the leaves of green plants
What are the two functions of chloroplasts?
Produce food and store energy
What is the primary pigment found in chloroplast?
Chlorophyll
CO2 + H2O + Sunlight -> C6H12O6 Glucose
Formula for photosynthesis
Where does water enter the plant?
Roots
3 sources of co2
Air, factories, living organisms
What organelle does cellular respiration occur in?
Mitochondria
What happens to carbohydrates during cellular respiration?
The carbs get broken down by cytoplasm to form atp
