Whoa Cell respiration & photosynthesis!?!?!

What is the balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 (Glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen gas) --> 6CO2 (Carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (Water)+ ATP

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

To break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of atp

Which organelle does aerobic cellular respiration take place in?

Mitochondria

Cell respiration without any oxygen is known as

anaerobic respiration or fermentation

Where does glycolysis take place?

Cytoplasm

Glycolysis literally means

A process which sugar is partially broken down by cells in enzyme reactions that do need oxygen

What is the purpose of the Krebs/Citric acid cycle?

the main source of energy for cells and an important part of aerobic respiration.

Where in the mitochondria does the Electron transport chain take place?

inner membrane

What is the purpose of the electron transport chain

to transfer energy from the electron carriers to even more ATP molecules

How much ATP is released when glucose is broken down during aerobic cellular respiration

30-32 ATP

ADP stores energy in ATP in an _____ reaction

Endergonic

ATP releases energy in an ____ reaction

Hydrolysis

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

ATP has three phosphate molecules and therefore more energy than ADP, which only has two phosphate molecules.

How are autotrophs and heterotrophs different from each other?

Autotrophs make their own food while heterotrophs rely on a different source

Why do organisms that have no oxygen die?

Oxygen is one of the most important sources for all living things

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration recycle these four molecules

carbon dioxide, water, oxygen and glucose.

What is the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis?

6CO2 (carbon) +6H2O (water) →C6H12O6 (glucose) +6O2 (oxygen)

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel

Chlorophyll ______ green light and ________ red and blue light

reflects and absorb

Where in the chloroplasts do the light-dependent reactions take place?

thylakoid

What is the purpose of the Light-dependent reaction?

to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis

What is the purpose of the Light independent reaction?

to assemble a molecule of glucose

Why do plants have different pigments?

so they can absorb energy from a wide range of wavelengths.

What is the source of energy for almost all living things on earth?

the sun

which three factors can impact a plant's rate of photosynthesis

light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature

which part of the plant does the most photosynthesis

Leaf because they have the most chloroplasts

What would happen to the rate of photosynthesis of a plant has no h2o or CO2

Plant will die

More oxygen from plants =

higher

Do plants perform cellular respiration?

Yes they do the energy released during cellular respiration gives the power to carry out the functions of the cells.

Why do plants in the dark die?

they will not have any food or nutrients

What is the first law of Thermodynamics?

energy in an isolated system is always conserved by changing from one form to another and it is neither created nor destroyed.

What is the second law of thermodynamics?

a system in which neither energy nor matter can enter or leave.

Energy _____ from a high energy source to uncontrollable entropy

flows

However, matter _____ between processes like photosynthesis and respiration

cycles
