Term
What happens during photosynthesis?
Definition
Plants use the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into high energy compounds such as sugars and starches, and oxygen (a waste product).
Term
Photosynthesis equation in words.
Definition
carbon dioxide + water --> sugars + oxygen
Term
Equation for photosynthesis in chemical equations
Definition
6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Term
In addition to water and carbon dioxide what else does photosynthesis require?
Definition
It also requires light and chlorophyll.
Term
Plants gather sun's energy with light-absorbing molecules called...
Definition
pigments
Term
what is the principal pigments of plants?
Definition
chlorophyll.
Term
Where is chlorophyll found?
Definition
in the chloroplast.
Term
what does cellular respiration begin with?
Definition
glycolysis
Term
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
Definition
6O2 + C6H12O6 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
Term
where does glycolysis take place?
Definition
in the cytoplasm
Term
How does a cell get glycolysis going?
Definition
The cell puts in a liitle energy drugin ATP production.
Term
Why can glycolysis supply energy to cells when there is no oxygen?
Definition
because glycolysis does not require oxygen
Term
What is fermentation?
Definition
releases energy from food molecules by producing ATP in the absence of oxygen.
Term
fermentation is called ______ because it does not require ______.
Definition
It is called anaerobic because it does not require oxygen.
Term
What are the two main types of fermentation?
Definition
Alcohol and Lactic Acid Fermentation.
Term
What organisms use alcoholic fermentation?
Definition
yeasts and a few other microorganisms.
Term
During what does lactic acid fermentation occur?
Definition
during rapid excercise. (it happens in your muscles)
Term
What is the total number of ATP molecules formed during cellular respiration? 
Definition
36 ATP
Term
What happens to the 62% of the total energy of glucose that is not used to make ATP molecules?
Definition
it is released as heat
Term
What are the final waste products of cellular respiration?
Definition
water and carbon dioxide 
Term
Cellular respiration _____ energy and photosynthesis _________ energy.
Definition

cellular respiration- withdraws

photosynthesis- deposit

Term
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different in terms of carbon dioxide?
Definition
photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration puts it back into the atmosphere.
Term
how are cellular respiration and photosynthesis different in terms of oxygen?
Definition
photosynthesis releases it into the energy and cellular respiration uses that oxygen to release energy from food.
Term
Energy available for cell use is stored in a special carrier molecule called
Definition
ATP
Term

Definition
stored
Term
from ADP to ATP occurs durin 
Definition
