The Transfer of Energy: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration (Unit 4) Flashcards
Autotrophs can turn _____ raw material into _______ compounds
inorganic into organic
ATP
a cell’s usable energy
ATP stands for…
adenosine triphosphate
ATP stores the…
chemical energy your cells need
chemical bonds
bonds that store energy from food
photosynthesis
a process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy (sun to glucose)
chloroplast
the cell organelle that photosynthesis occurs in
__ must be present for photosynthesis to take place
sun/sunlight
photosynthesis formula
CO2 + H20 + SUN turn into O2 + C6H12O6 (glucose)
guard cells
cells that form an opening in the surface of the leaf
stomata
opening formed by 2 guard cells on the surface of the leaf
site of ___ and ___ exchange with the environment
gas and water
stomata and guard cells help maintain…
homeostasis
cellular respiration
a process that releases chemical energy (makes ATP) from glucose (food) (glucose to ATP)
more oxygen present=
more ATP produced
aerobic
needs oxygen to take place
mitochondria
the cell organelle where cellular respiration occurs
the chemical energy is found in the…
bonds of the molecules
cellular respiration formula
02 + C6H12O6 turn into CO2 + H2O + ATP (energy)
What kinds of organisms can do cellular respiration?
ALL organisms
What kinds of organisms can do photosynthesis?
ONLY producers/autotrophs
fermentation-anaerobic cellular respiration
a process that does not need oxygen to energy
anaerobic
does NOT need oxygen to take place
anaerobic cellular respiration takes place in..
the cytoplasm
Lactic acid production (fermentation) occurs in the ____ of animals when not enough _____ is available (like during exercise
-muscle cells
-oxygen
Aerobic cellular respiration
process that must have oxygen and where enzymes are required ATP are produced
Anaerobic cellular respiration (fermentation)
process that does not use oxygen, occurs in the cytoplasm, and produces few ATP
