Unit 1: Trophic Levels Flashcards
1
Q
Producer
A
An organism that uses solar energy to create other forms of energy, like glucose
2
Q
Photosynthesis
A
Producers use solar energy, c02, and water to make glucose, and produce oxygen as a waste product.
3
Q
Cellular respiration
A
A process where cells unlock the energy of chemical compounds.
4
Q
Photosynthesis equation
A
Solar energy + 6H20 + 6CO2 -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
5
Q
Respiration equation
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> Energy + 6H2O + 6CO2
6
Q
Almost all energy is what?
A
Solar energy, a form of kinetic energy.
7
Q
Producers are also called what?
A
Autotrophs
8
Q
Aerobic respiration
A
The opposite of photosynthesis. Cells convert glucose and oxygen into CO2, water, and energy
9
Q
Anaerobic respiration
A
Cells convert glucose into energy without oxygen, it doesn’t make as much energy as aerobic respiration.
