Unit 6A Science Flashcards
Equation for Photosynthesis?
CO2+H2O+Sunlight–>(C6,H12,O6[glucose])+O2
Where does Carbon dioxide come from?
Carbon dioxide comes from animals when they release gas during cellular respiration
Cellular Respiration is what?
Cellular Respiration is the process of chemical reactions to produce chemical energy to Produce ATP.
What’s the difference between ATP and Glucose? (Analogy)
Glucose is the fuel and ATP is the engine making the fuel work
What are the energy transformations in a human riding a bike ?(there are two steps, two of the steps are combined) Ex. [Mechanical Energy-Mechanical Energy and Chemical Energy]
Chemical energy- Mechanical and thermal energy
Are the reactants and products flipped for photosynthesis and cellular respiration, why or why not?
They are flipped probably because it is to keep a cycle of Oxygen, Water, and Sunlight to then transfer into Oxygen and Glucose [photosynthesis] then the products of cellular respiration is Oxygen and glucose and release Carbon dioxide, Energy, and Water.
Cellular Respiration happens where?
Photosynthesis happens where?
Respiration happens in mitochondria
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.
How is a food web and Food chain different?
The food chains show one linear relationship and food webs show interlinking organisms with a whole ecosystem working together (more complex)
How are Food Pyramids Unique?
They are extremely easy to visualize, show you energy loss, decreased amount of organisms, and directly show you the levels starting from producers up to the last trophic level.
Why is energy transformation in ecosystems important?
It is important because not every organism receives it in the same way, such as human eats plants because they have stored glucose which would be mechanical (eating) to chemical (glucose), but for plants, they receive it through the sun, so if there was no energy transformation we would be dead because not every organism receives energy through the using radiant energy
What is ATP?
Cell Energy
What is the product of Plants?
Cellular Respiration
