photosynthesis
How many total atoms are in glucose? (C6H12O6)
24. 6 carbons plus 12 hydrogens plus 6 oxygens.
How many molecules of CO2 are needed to make one glucose molecule/
6. there are 6 carbons in glucose (C6H12O6). there is one carbon in each co2 so you need 6 molecules
What is the chemical formula for glucose?
C6H12O6.
What 2 ingredients make glucose?
CO2 and H20. the water is split first and just the hydrogen is taken
carbon dioxide
CO2- 2 oxygens and a carbon in the molecule. is found in air and taken by plants to help build glucose
What is glucose?
sugar made by plants in photosynthesis that stores energy.
Why does cellular respiration (exercise) cause you to be dehydrated?
water is produced in cellular respiration and lost as you breathe. It also releases heat which causes your body to sweat out more water
Chemical reaction
when 2 or more ingredients(reactants) react to make new substances. c6h12o6 + O2 >>> 6Co2 + 6H2O + energy
Law of conservation of matter. In this chemical reaction, how many atoms of carbon would need to be in the products? C6H12O6 + 6O2>>>
6. what you start with you need to end with. You can't make or lose any carbons.
What is the chemical formula for water?
H2O
What gas is produced as a waste product by photosynthesis?
Oxygen. 6 molecules for every glucose produced
How is oxygen cycled between animals and plants?
Plants take in oxygen through H2O, Plants split the H20 and release oxygen in photosynthesis, animals breathe in oxygen for cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration
Process where glucose or other food molecules are broken down and used for energy
what is photosynthesis?
Process where the cells in plants leaves convert the energy absorbed by the sun into stored energy in sugar (glucose)
What does sunlight do in photosynthesis?
Splits the water molecule into H and 02.
Why does a plant need water for photosynthesis?
To take the hydrogen off the H20 to add to glucose
What gas is needed from the air by plants for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide (C02) to build glucose
What are waste products of cellular respiration?
carbon dioxide and water
What is sugar?
carbon hydrogen and oxygen. made by plants in photosynthesis as stored energy. glucose is the sugar made by plants
ATP
energy molecule used by the body for activity. Produced when glucose is broken down
