thinking in terms of mass, thinking in terms of energy/photosynthesis

Question 1

can energy be converted into mass?

Answer 1

Yes a lot of energy must be present in order to do so.

Question 2

can mass turn into energy?

Answer 2

yes one way through nuclear fission

Question 3

what is transforming sunlight energy into chemical energy?

Answer 3

photosynthesis

Question 4

what is anabolism vs catabolism

Answer 4

anabolism is the building of a complex structure while catabolism is the breaking down of complex structure

Question 5

what can perform photosynthesis?

Answer 5

plants, algae, some micro-organism

Question 6

in what organelle does photosynthesis occur?

Answer 6

chloroplast

Question 7

how does photosynthesis happen

Answer 7

plants take in sun, co2 and h2o

Question 8

What is chlorophylls purpose

Answer 8

absorbs sunlight

Question 9

What is the role of sunlight in
photosynthesis? carbon dioxide? water? glucose?

Answer 9

sunlight causes a chemical reaction breaking down co2 and h2o to make glucose(sugar)

Question 10

in photosynthesis what is the meaning of “food”

Answer 10

what provides an organism energy

Question 11

why is photosynthesis anabolic?

Answer 11

forms glucose by combining water and carbon dioxide

Question 12

how is carbon dioxide turned into glucose

Answer 12

in the process of photosynthesis

Question 13

” What two molecular processes, that together make-up photosynthetic
metabolism, transform light energy into chemical energy?

Answer 13

light reactions, calvin cycle

Question 14

where do photosynthetic processes take place?

Answer 14

chloroplasts

Question 15

what happens during the Calvin cycle

Answer 15

uses energy from ATP to produce sugars for plants

Question 16

? During which process is oxygen gas
released and why?

Answer 16

photosynsthesis, and it can be a waste product and helps the atmosphere overall

Question 17

During which process are carbon dioxide molecules put together or
“fixed” into sugar molecules?

Answer 17

Calvin Cycle

Question 18

What is the role of NADPH and ATP in photosynthesis?

Answer 18

helps provide energy and reducing power for photosynthesize

Question 19

Where do the hydrogen atoms in a molecule of glucose produced during photosynthesis
come from?

Answer 19

water

Question 20

Where do the oxygen atoms in a molecule of glucose come from?

Answer 20

carbon dioxide

Question 21

Where do
the carbon atoms in a molecule of glucose come from?

Answer 21

carbon dioxide

Question 22

how does cellular respiration happen?

Answer 22

goes through processes and aids in producing energy

Question 23

where does cellular respiration take place?

Answer 23

Takes place in the mitochondria or cytoplasm

Question 24

is cellular respiration the same as photosynthesis?

Answer 24

not exactly, both are process that take place in living organisms but humans don’t go through phot

Question 25

is cellular respiration catabolic or anabolic

Answer 25

catabolic as it breaks down molecules to release energy
