|
What organelle in a plant cell and an animal cell helps with cell respiration and photosynthesis? |
Plant - chloroplast and mitochondria Animal - mitochondria |
|
|
|
What is an Autotroph? |
An organism that makes their own food. Ex: plants |
|
|
|
What is a Heterotroph? |
An organism which obtain their energy from the food they consume and not necessarily the sun's energy directly. Ex: Impala, Leopard, Mushrooms |
|
|
|
What are the 4 types of eaters (Heterotroph)? |
Carnivore Herbivore Omnivore Decomposers (mushrooms) |
|
|
|
What is ATP? |
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is an important chemical compound that cells use to store and release energy. It is a basic energy source. |
Opposite of ATP |
|
|
What does ATP consist of? |
Adenine Ribose (5-carbon sugar) 3 Phosphate groups (store energy) |
|
|
|
What is ADP? |
Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) is a compound that looks almost like ATP, but it has only 2 phosphate groups. A cell can store small amounts of energy by adding a phosphate group to the ADP. (ADP = storing energy) |
Opposite of ATP |
|
|
What is the energy from ATP needed for? |
Active Transport Protein Synthesis Muscle Contraction |
Movement |
|
|
What is photosynthesis? |
A process in which green plants use the energy of sunlight to convert water & carbon dioxide into high-energy carbohydrates & oxygen. The chemical process of converting energy from the sun... |
|
|
|
What is the equation for photosynthesis? |
Carbon dioxide + water + energy = sugars (glucose) + oxygen
(6CO2 + 6H2O + energy = C6H12O6 + 6CO2) |
|
|
|
What else does photosynthesis require? |
Light and Chlorophyll (makes plants green) because plants gather the sun's energy with light-absorbing molecules called pigments. |
|
|
|
What does Chlorophyll do? |
Absorbs light well in the blue-violet and red regions of the visible spectrum. (Graph with wavelengths and colors/pigments) |
|
|
|
What pigments does Chlorophyll not absorb well? |
Chlorophyll doesn't absorb light well in the green region. Green is reflected by leaves which is why plants look green. |
