Science L6: Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration Flashcards
T/F All living things must eat other living things for food.
False
T/F Plants can make their own food.
True
T/F Plants don’t need oxygen, only carbon dioxide.
False
T/F Animals eat plants or other animals that eat plants
True
T/F Many living things need oxygen to release energy from food.
True
Chloro
green
phyll
leaf
what does the word chlorophyll break down into?
green leaf
How do cells get energy?
Some cells get energy from eating other living things, others get it from making their own food.
Why do living things need energy at all times?
- move materials into and out of the cell
- make different chemicals
- get rid of wastes
- build body parts, replace cells or reproduce
Producer
organisms that can make their own food (most use energy from the sun)
Consumer
organisms that must eat, or consume, other living things to get food.
What do both producers and consumers have in common
Both use chemical energy.
how do nearly all life on Earth get energy from the sun.
Animals get energy from eating plants indirectly, plants get energy directly from the sun
photosynthesis
when plants use energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make sugars (also produces oxygen). turns light energy into chemical energy
Where does photosynthesis take place in plants?
Leaf
Chlorophyll
green pigment located in chloroplasts, captures light energy from the sun and converted into chemical energy in sugars
Where does photosynthesis take place?
organelles called chloroplasts
Where are chloroplasts found?
in cells of plants and other organisms that undergo photosynthesis. Not found in animal or fungal cells
