Science Flashcards
Define photosynthesis and what is needed for photosynthesis To occur
Photosynthesis is the process by which a cell captures energy and uses it to make food. what is needed for photosynthesis is carbon dioxide water and light energy
What is stage one of photosynthesis?
Energy is captured in the chloroplasts water in the chloroplast is split into hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen is a waste product and hydrogen goes onto stage too.
Write the formula for photosynthesis
Light energy + carbon dioxide +water= glucose and oxygen
What stage two of photosynthesis
The hydrogen carbon dioxide have a chemical reaction and then produce glucose and energy
Define cellular respiration
Process by which cells obtain energy from glucose cells break down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen and then release energy
What happens in stages one of cellular respiration
It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell molecules of glucose are broken down into smaller molecules and oxygen is not needed so it is called a anaerobic process. very little energy is released
What happens in stage II of cellular respiration
It happens in the mitochondria look The small molecules are broken down even more and this requires oxygen which is called an aerobic process it produces a lot of energy
What are the raw materials of photosynthesis
Light energy carbon dioxide and water
Where the raw materials of cellular respiration
Oxygen and glucose
What is produced during photosynthesis
Glucose and oxygen
What is produced during cellular respiration
Light energy carbon dioxide water
Compare photosynthesis and Cellular respiration
It helps keep an equal balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in nature the products and raw materials are Opposite of both Processes
Define fermentation
Is energy releasing process but does not require any oxygen it releases less energy then cellular respiration
What are the products of Alcohol fermentation
Oxygen and a small amount of energy
What is needed to make alcohol fermentation
Yeast and other one celled organisms
