Photosynthesis/Respiration Flashcards
Which color light is most effective in photosynthesis?
Furthest away from green
Where on the plant does the majority of photosynthesis occur?
Leaves
Which organelle contains chlorophyll?
Chloroplast
Where are chlorophyll located?
Membrane sacs called thylakoids
Does fermentation produce ATP?
No
What are the two types of fermentation?
Lactic acid ex. Bacteria, animals
Alcoholic ex. Yeast
What is energy?
The ability to do work
What’s the law of conservation of energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, can only change forms
Photosynthesis plants parts- roots, stem, flowers, leaves
Roots gather water and nutrients, stem provides support and some photosynthesis, flowers help with reproduction and leaves gather light to make energy and food
Define autotroph
Organism that has the ability to make its own food
Where did all of the energy on the earth ultimately come from?
Sun
Where is the majority of ATP produced in cellular respiration?
Electron transport chain
What is the first step of glycolysis?
Glucose broken down into 2 G3P molecules
What is required for respiration to occur?
O2 and glucose
What is the complete anaerobic breakdown of glucose called?
Fermentation
