Palisade Layer

made of cells that contains many chloropasts --photosynthesis takes place here.

Xylem

transport water and minerals

Food is broken down into carbon dioxide and water and energy s released.

Describe what takes place during cellular respiration in complex organisms

During cellular respiration, plant cells use oxygen and release carbon dioxide and water instead.

During photosynthesis, plant cells use carbon dioxide to make glucose and release oxygen. How is this different from cellular respiration?

Guard Cells

Help close and open the stomata.

Spongy Layer

Made of cells that are spread farther apart. The spaces between these cells allow carbon dioxide molecules to diffuse more freely.

Photosynthetic organisms are the base of most food chains

Photosynthesis is important because..

CO2

The abbreviation for carbon dioxide

Fermentation

The breakdown of food without the use of oxygen.

Decomposition

The breaking down of dead materials into carbon dioxide and water.

Combustion

The carbon in coal, oil, and natural gas return to the atmosphere as CO2 when burned. This is the process of burning fossil fuels.

Transpiration

The loss of water from leaves or process by which plants release water vapor into air through the stomata.

Photosynthesis

The main function of leaves is to go through what?

Chlorophyll

The main pigment used in photosynthesis that gives plants the green color. These are located in the chloroplasts.

Pigments

The molecules that absorb light energy in plants.

Cellular Respiration

The process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food.

Photosynthesis

The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide,and water to make food.

epidermis

The top of the leaf are covered with a single layer of cells call the what?

Cuticle

The waxy layer that helps keep the leaf from drying out

Yeast

This forms carbon dioxide during fermentation and is used to help bread rise.

Stomata

Tiny pores or openings in the epidermis that allow Carbon, water, and oxygen molecules to enter and leave the leaf.

It maintains body temperature and forms ATP

What does your body do with energy released during cellular respiration?

Form ATP

When energy is being released, some of the energy is made to maintain body temperature or what?

Respiration

When humans and other animals breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Breathing supplies the oxygen needed for cellular respiration and removes carbon dioxide.

Why is breathing important?

Oxygen

During photosynthesis, what gas do plants release?

Fossil Fuels

Fuels that are formed from the remains of prehistoric animals and plant life. example: oil, gas, & coal

Chloroplasts

In a plant cell, Where does photosynthesis take place in?

Mitochondria

In eurkaryotic cells, cellular respiration takes place mostly in the what?

Cell Membrane

In prokaryotic cells, Where does cellular respiration usually take place in?

Glucose

It's the carbohydrate/food made when plants capture energy.

C6H12O6

The abbreviation for glucose

O2

The abbreviation for oxygen

H2O

The abbreviation for water

Carbon cycle

The exchange of carbon between the environment and living things.

Sun

Where does almost all of the energy that fuels life come from?

Because you need for oxygen that you can afford. The muscle cells can't get the oxygen needed for cellular respiration.

Why do you get a burning sensation in your muscles during strenuous exercise.

Phloem

takes glucose made during photosynthesis from the leaf to the rest of the plant
