autotroph
What is the vocabulary word for organisms that make their own food?
cellular respiration
Which process, photosynthesis or cellular respiration, occurs in the mitochondria?
metabolic pathway
This vocabulary term means: a series of linked reactions in which the products of one reaction fuel the next.
glucose + oxygen —----- carbon dioxide + water
What is the chemical formula for cellular respiration?
glycolysis
What is the first step of BOTH aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
cytoplasm
Where in the cell does glycolysis occur?
chloroplast
What is the organelle in which photosynthesis takes place?
Plants provide necessary oxygen and energy for us to live.
Why are plants important in the existence of animals?
aerobic cellular respiration produces 36-38 ATP and anaerobic is much less
Which produces more energy: fermentation or aerobic respiration?
alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation
What are the two types of fermentation?
carbon dioxide and ATP
What product does aerobic and anaerobic respiration share?
carbon dioxide + water —sunlight—---- glucose + oxygen
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
light dependent reactions and light independent reactions
What are the two stages of photosynthesis called?
lactic acid fermentation
What type of fermentation occurs in our muscle cells?
carbon dioxide, water, Energy from the sun
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
pyruvic acid or pyruvate
What does one molecule of glucose split into after glycolysis?
whether oxygen is present
What determines what happens to the pyruvic acid after glycolysis?
Calvin cycle
What is the scientific name for the light-independent reaction?
plants using the sunlight to produce glucose in chloroplast
What is photosynthesis?
ATP
What is the name of the main energy compound that living things use?
Chlorophyll
What is the name of pigment that captures light in photosynthesis?
Yeast and bacteria
What organisms can go through alcoholic fermentation?
Cytoplasm
Where does fermentation occur?
We use alcoholic fermentation to have the yeast make carbon dioxide which adds carbonation.
Why would we need to add yeast cells to the soda if we were to make it
from eating plants
How do we, as humans, acquire energy from the sun?
oxygen
What must be present in order for cellular respiration to occur?
cellular respiration
What is another name for aerobic respiration?
heterotroph
What is the vocabulary term for organisms that must consume organic materials from other organisms to obtain the energy for life?
glycolysis and fermentation
What is another name for anaerobic respiration?
sunlight
What is the ultimate source of energy for all life on Earth?
glucose and oxygen
What are the products of photosynthesis?
glucose and oxygen
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
carbon dioxide, water and ATP
What are the products of cellular respiration?
not enough energy is produced to sustain life for the long term
Why can't we survive if our cells only went through fermentation?
C6H12O6
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
Exercise increases the rate of respiration
How did exercise affect the rate of respiration?
