|
|
What is photosynthesis?
|
The process in which the energy of sunlight is used to produce food.
|
|
|
What is the chemical equation for respiration?
|
Glucose + Oxygen-----Carbon Dioxide + Water +ATP
|
|
|
What is the first step in photosynthesis?
|
The first step occurs when energy in the form of sunlight is captured by the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts.
|
|
|
What does an organism need to repair cell parts, and to make new cell parts?
|
food
|
|
|
During photosynthesis what is used to produce glucose and oxygen?
|
carbon dioxide and water
|
|
|
What is the second step of photosynthesis?
|
The second step in photosynthesis is the process in which the radiant energy of sunlight is converted into the chemical energy found in food.
|
|
|
What is the basic food produced by photosynthesis?
|
The simple sugar called glucose

Give me an example of a heterotroph?
|
people
|
|

In addition to sunlight, what do green plants need to perform photosynthesis?
|
carbon dioxide and water
|
|
|
What is a waste product of photosynthesis?
|
oxygen

|
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
|
Carbon Dioxide + Water-----Glucose + Oxygen

|
|
What are organisms that can make their own food called?
|
autotrophs
|
|
|
What is the energy releasing process that does not require oxygen:less efficient than respiration.
|
fermentation
|
|

|
|
What is a carbohydrate or compound made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms?
|
glucose
|
|
|
What is the process in which simple food substances such as glucose are broken down and the energy they contain is released called?
|
respiration
|
|
|
What is a gas found in the atmosphere needed for photosynthesis?
|
carbon dioxide
|
|
|
During the process of respiration what is given off?
|
carbon dioxide and water

|
|
What type of respiration requires oxygen?
|
aerobic respiration
|
|
|
Why is oxygen an important waste product of photosynthesis?
|
It helps us breathe
|
|
|
What is the opposite process of respiration?
|
photosynthesis

|
What does the prefix aero mean?
|
air
|
|
|
In what organelle does the process of respiration occur?
|
the mitochondria

|
|
What is one of the main components of air?
|
oxygen
|
|
|
Why do plants need oxygen?
|
In order to release the energy in food
