Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Flashcards
What organism performs the process of photosynthesis?
Green plants only [plant cells]
What are the special parts of the organism used to perform photosynthesis?
Cell organelle: chloroplasts
What are the starting materials of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
What is the final product of photosynthesis?
Glucose [oxygen is a byproduct]
What is the use of the final product of photosynthesis by other organisms?
Food and to breathe
What is the energy required for photosynthesis?
Sunlight
Is there energy released during photosynthesis?
No – energy is stored in the bonds between atoms of the glucose molecule
What is the energy source of photosynthesis?
The sun [less than 1% of sunlight is used]
What is the importance of photosynthesis to organisms that perform the process?
Make food for energy
What is the importance of photosynthesis to organisms that do not perform the process?
Oxygen and removal of CO2
What are conditions of photosynthesis?
Sunlight and Chlorophyll
What organisms perform the process of cellular respiration?
All living things [plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, protist] (plant and animal cells)
What is a special part of the organism used to perform the process of cellular respiration?
Cell organelle: Mitochondria
What are the starting materials of cellular respiration?
Glucose and oxygen
What is the final products of cellular respiration?
Unuseable chemical energy [byproducts =CO2 and H2O]
