Term
Define autotroph
Definition
organims that is able to use light energy from the sun to produce its food
Term
Give an example of an autotroph
Definition
plant
Term
Define heterotroph
Definition
organism that cannot use the sun's energy directly
must get energy from food
Term
Give an example of a heterotroph
Definition
animal/humans
Term
How do autotrophs obtain energy?
Definition
photosynthesis to make glucose then cellular respiration to convert glucose to ATP
Term
How do heterotrophs obtain energy?
Definition
ingest glucose then cellular respiration to convert glucose to ATP
Term
What does ATP stand for?
Definition
adenosine triphosphate
Term
What does ADP stand for?
Definition
adenosine diphosphate
Term
Describe the structure of ATP.
Definition
adenine, ribose, 3 phosphates (tail)
Term
Describe the structure of ADP.
Definition
adenine, ribose, 2 phosphates (tail)
Term
How is energy released from ATP?
Definition
a phosphate group is broken off
Term
How is energy stored by an ADP molecule?
Definition
a phosphate group is added
Term
What is the purpose of cellular respiration?
Definition
converts energy stored in food to useable ATP
Term
Where does cellular respiration occur?
Definition
mitochondria
Term
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
Definition
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --->6 CO2 + 6 H2O + 38 ATP
Term
What is the word equation for aerobic cellular respiration?
Definition
glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water + energy
Term
What are the inputs/reactants of aerobic cellular repiration?
Definition
glucose and oxygen
Term
What are the outputs/products of aerobic cellular respiration?
Definition
carbon dioxide, water & energy (ATP)
Term
Is cellular respiration in the mitochondira aerobic or anaerobic?
Definition
aerobic
Term
Define aerobic
Definition
requires oxygen
Term
Define anaerobic
Definition
does not require oxygen
Term
Give examples of organisms that use aerobic respiration.
Definition
humans/other animals
Term
How is breathing related to cellular respiration?
Definition
Cellular respiration needs oxygen as an input: inhaling provides the oxygen.
Cellular respiration creates carbon dioxide as a byproduct: exhaling gets rid of carbon dioxide.
Term
Give examples of organisms that use anaerobic respiration.
Definition
animal muscle cells
yeast
Term
Why does muscle fermentation occur?
Definition
The body cannot keep up with oxygen demands. Aerobic cellualr respiration cannot occur. Fermentation occurs to create needed ATP during this time.
Term
What are the condintions for fermentation?
Definition
anaerobic (no oxygen)
Term
What is produced from muscle fermentation?
Definition
ATP and lactic acid
Term
What is produced from yeast fermentation?
Definition
ATP, carbon dioxide, ethyl alcohol
Term
Why are plant leaves green?
Definition
They contain the pigment chlorophyll which reflects green visible light wavelengths.
Term
What is the purpose of photosynthesis?
Definition
plants use sun energy to create food (glucose)
Term
Where does photosynthesis occur?
Definition
chloroplasts
Term
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Definition
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + (light)---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Term
What is the word equation for photosynthesis?
Definition
carbon dioxide + water + light---> glucose + oxygen
Term
What are the inputs/reactant in photosynthesis?
Definition
water & carbon dioxide
Term
What are the outputs/products of photosynthesis?
Definition
oxygen and glucose
Term
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Definition
water, temperature, light intensity
Term
How are photosynthesis & cellular respiration related?
Definition
photosynthesis = backwards cellualr respiration
