answer
Equation for the Chemical Reaction of Photosynthesis (symbol)
question
Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen
answer
Equation for the Chemical Reaction of Photosynthesis (words)
question
Equation for the Chemical Reaction of Photosynthesis
answer
Six molecules of carbon dioxide react with six molecules of water to form 1 molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen.
question
Photosynthesis
answer
The process of changing light energy to chemical energy.
question
Photosynthesis
answer
Occurs in plants and some algae .
question
Photosynthesis
answer
Plants need light energy, CO2, and H2O .
question
Photosynthesis
answer
Takes place in the chloroplasts, using chlorophyll.
question
Photosynthesis
answer
Plants capture light energy and use that energy to make glucose.
question
Photosynthesis
answer
Sunlight provides the energy needed by chlorophyll to change molecules of carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
question
Photosynthesis
answer
Oxygen is released in this reaction.
question
Photosynthesis
answer
Carbon dioxide enters the leaf through holes called stomata.
question
Photosynthesis
answer
CO2 combines with the stored energy in the chloroplasts through a chemical reaction to make glucose.
question
Photosynthesis
answer
The sugar is moved through tubes in the leaf to the roots, stems and fruits of the plants.
question
Photosynthesis
answer
Some of the sugar is used right away by the plant for energy; some is stored as starch; and some is built into plant tissue
question
Importance of Photosynthesis to Humans
answer
We cannot make our own food (glucose, energy), we must get our food from plants.
question
Plants
answer
The first step in the food chain.
question
Oxygen
answer
Released during photosynthesis; is necessary for all living things.
question
Cellular Respiration
answer
The release of chemical energy for use by cells.
question
Cellular Respiration
answer
Once the energy that was in sunlight is changed into chemical energy by photosynthesis, an organism has to transform the chemical energy into a a form that can be used by the organism.
question
Cellular Respiration
answer
The breakdown of glucose molecules to release energy.
question
Cellular Respiration
answer
Takes place in all living things.
question
Cellular Respiration
answer
Is a step by step process.
question

answer
Chemical equation for cellular respiration. (words)
question
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
answer
Chemical equation for cellular respiration. (symbol)
question
Cellular Respiration
answer
Glucose to ATP.
