respiration

which process - photosynthesis or respiration - produces water

respiration

in plants, the _________ absorb water from the soil. the water moves up through the plant's __________ to the _________.

roots; stem; leaves

write the entire formula for the photosynthesis reaction

6CO2 + 6H2O light energy C6H12O6 +6O2

s this process more likely to occur during a short run or a long walk? Explain your answer.

A short run because the athlete is pushing their muscles more

Chlorophyll is a type of pigment, and so is the melanin in your skin. What is a pigment?

A substance that contains color

Would you expect a plant to produce more oxygen on a cloudy day or a sunny day? Explain.

A sunny day because the plant has been given enough energy to carry out its functions.

What's one major reason human cells have evolved to depend on aerobic, and not anaerobic, respiration?

Aerobic respiration produces more energy than anaerobic respiration

Explain why cellular respiration adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, but photosynthesis does not.

Because in respiration, there is a production of carbon dioxide, but in photosynthesis, the carbon dioxide is used up.

six-carbon sugars have the chemical formula:

C6H12O6

write the chemical formula for six-carbon sugar

C6H12O6

write the respiration equation

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

OOpSSOSOSS

What do the respiratory system and cellular respiration have in common?

Oxygen plays a key role in both.

In what way does plant nutrition differ from human nutrition?

Plants make their own nutrients; humans must consume theirs.
