Term
Where does cellular respiration take place?
Definition
In the mitochondria.
Term
What is the process of cellular respiration? And what are the products?
Definition

Glucose in the cytoplasm is broken down into smaller molecules. These smaller molecules go into the mitochondria along with oxygen and get broken down even further.

Products: Energy, Co2, and H20

Term
What goes in the mitochondria during cellular respiration and what comes out?
Definition

IN: Sugar and oxygen

OUT: Energy, Carbon Dioxide, Water

Term
What if your cells don't have oxygen? Can cellular respiration still occur?
Definition
Fermentation is the process by which cells release energy without oxygen.
Term
What are the two types of fermentation?
Definition

Alcoholic

Lactic Acid

Term
How does fermentation happen?
Definition
Glucose breaks down in cytoplasm into smaller molecules which releases small amounts of energy. The smaller molecules don't enter the mitochondria to get broken down any further.
Term
What about fermentation in the food we eat?
Definition
Yeast: A microorganism that uses fermentation to convert sugar into alcohol and C02. The bubles of C02 cause it to rise. When the dough is baked, the alcohol evaporates. Yeast is killed, and C02 bubbles give the bread a light, spongy structure
Term

Cheeses and yogurt? (Fermentation)

 

Definition

-Lactic acid fermentation takes place

-Bacteria convert sugar found in milk into lactic acid and it is used to make yogurt, cheese and sourdough bread.

Buildup of lactic acid causes the milk to partially solidify.  Producing the creamy texture of yogurt.

If it continues for a long time, it eventually turns into cheese.

Term
What goes in the chloroplast and what comes out during photosythesis?
Definition

IN: Energy, C02, water

OUT: Glucose and oxygen

Term
Process of photocythesis?
Definition

1) Sunlight energy hits the leaves.

2) C02 and h20 enter through the stomata at the bottom of the leaf.

3) All goes into the chloroplast

4) Out comes glucose and oxygen.

Term
Photosythensis in depht?
Definition

C02: enters through stomata in leaves

h20: enters through roots

Light is trapped in the chlorphoylll, anergy to make food. 

Oxygen is given off into the air and starch is stored in other parts of the plant

Term

All cells release energy?

 

Definition

GLucose and other sugars are cell food. They are the power source for cell activities in almost all living things. Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of sugars.

Cells release energy in two ways: Cellular respiration, fermentation
