Carbon Cycle/ Respiration/ Photosynthesis
In what organelle does cellular respiration occur?
Mitochondria
Location in the cell: Cellular Respiration
Mitochondria
What is the role of respiration and photosynthesis in the carbon cycle?
Photosynthesis converts co2 to oxygen. Respiration converts oxygen to Co2
Plants go through two cell processes. Name the two processes and why the plant needs each process.
Photosynthesis, Respiration, Transpiration
Chloroplast
Plant cell part only, converts sunlight into glucose/energy.
What is the role of photosynthesis and respiration in the carbon cycle?
Respiration adds Co2 to the atmosphere, plants convert the Co2 into oxygen.
Glucose
Sugar/ Energy that is given to cells. In everything we consume.
Mitochondria
Where energy is made for mammals
What is the composition of Earth's atmosphere? How much is CO2
47% oxygen 27% Silicon 8% Aluminum 5% Iron 4% calcium 2% Magnesium, potassium & Sodium
Chemical Equation: Cellular Respiration
C6 H12 O6+ 6O2 (arrow) 6Co2 + 6H20+ ATP
Co2
Carbon dioxide. Gas. Opposite of oxygen.
Climate change is thought to be due to large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. What is one way to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere? How and/or why would that reduce the CO2 levels? Be specific.
Carpooling because vehicles give off gas/ carbon dioxide to the atmosphere but if we carpool we cut down on the amount of carbon dioxide.
Metabolism
Chemical reactions involved in maintaining the living states of all cells and organisms.
In what organelle does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplast
Location in the cell: Photosynthesis
Chloroplast
Chemical Equation: Photosynthesis
Co2 + H2o (arrow) C6 H12 O6 + O2
ATP
High energy currency
How has the concentration of atmospheric CO2 changed over the past 50 years?
It's increased due to the industrial revolution.
How does the green effect control Earth's climate?
The green house affect traps heat from the sun into the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the relationship between CO2 and temperature?
The higher amount of Co2 the warmer/hotter the temperature.
Photosynthesis
The process when plants create energy.
Cellular Respiration
The process where mammal cells create and give energy.
Why are photosynthesis and respiration important?
The two processes provide energy towards the cell which helps mammals and plants, depending on the process, continue to function and develop.
Overall Purpose: Cellular Respiration
To feed mammal cells, that help us continue living and growing.
Overall Purpose: Photosynthesis
To feed plant cells, so the plant can continue living.
