Cellular respiration
|
A series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP.
|
|
Glycolysis
|
A process by which glucose, a sugar, is broken down of energy called ATP.
|
|
Fermentation
|
A reaction that eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells can use to obtain energy from food when oxygen levels are low.
|
|
Photosynthesis
|
A series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off oxygen.
|
|
What materials are needed for photosynthesis?
|
Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Sunlight (light energy)
|
|
What are the products of photosynthesis?
|
Glucose and Oxygen
|
|
What are the materials needed for cellular respiration?
|
Glucose and Oxygen

|
What are the products of cellular respiration?
|
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP (energy)
|
|
Where in the cell does cellular respiration take place?
|
Part 1 - in the cytoplasm

|
What is the first step of cellular respiration called?
|
Glycolysis
|
|
What happens during glycolysis?
|
Glucose is broken down into smaller molecules (a small amount of ATP is released)
|
|
When does fermentation happen?
|
When there is not enough oxygen available for cellular respiration.

Where in the cell does photosynthesis take place?
|
Chloroplasts
|
|
What is the name of the pigment in the chloroplasts that makes the cells look green?
|
Chlorophyll
|
|
What is the job of chlorophyll?
|
To absorb light energy.
