Cell Energy
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
