photosynthesis

• What is a heterotroph?


  An organism that obtains its energy by consuming other organisms.
• what are autotrophs/producers?


  Organisms that produce their food through photosynthesis.
• what are heterotrophs/consumers?


  Organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms.
• What do water, air, and light make?

  glucose + oxygen
• What does photo mean in photosynthesis?

  light
• What does synthesis mean in photosynthesis?

  to make
• What does light energy go to?

  chemical energy
• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants? (3)

  1) convert light

  2)use H20 +CO2

  3)make glucose + O2
• What did Joseph Priestly do for his experiment?

  -plants give off O2 when there is light
• What did Joseph Priestly discover? Why does the mouse survive with a plant?

  -plants give off O2 in light
• what is photosynthesis? (in words)

  process of plants converting sunlight into chemical energy (glucose)
• What is the Law of Conservation of Matter?

  The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. It can only change forms or be rearranged.
• How does photosynthesis work with the law of conservation of matter?

  the same number of atoms go in, must come out
• what is respiration?


  The process of converting glucose into energy in the presence of oxygen.
• what is the cell wall?

  A rigid layer outside the cell membrane that provides support and protection to the cell.
• what is chloroplast?


  Organelle
• What does chloroplast do?

  Photosynthesis
• what is mitochondria and what does it do?

  Organelle. Produces energy.
• what is glucose?


  sugar and stored energy
• what is the outer membrane?

  Cell membrane
• what is the inner membrane?

  Mitochondria
• what is grana?


  Grana is a stack of thylakoid discs found in chloroplasts.
• What is thylakoid?


  Membrane.
• what is stroma and what does it do?

  Supportive tissue in plants, provides structure and stores nutrients.
• where does photosynthesis occur?

  thylakoid
• what does the chlorophyll?


  absorb light
• Who was Van Helmont?

  Alchemist and physician.
• What did Van Helmont believe?

  Spontaneous generation
• What was Van Helmont's auestion?

  DO plants need soil for mass?
• Who was Joseph Priestly?

  Chemist and theologian.
• What was Joseph Priestly's candle experiment?

  There was no oxygen so the candle went out
• Why did the mouse die in Joseph Priestly?

  The mouse died because he needed oxygen
• Why did the mouse live in Joseph Priestly's experiment with a plant?

  The plant gave the mouse oxygen
• What is respiration?


  When glucose breaks down for energy
• Where do consumers/heterotrophs get glucose from?

  Food
• Why do producers/autotrophs carry out photosynthesis?

  to create their own glucose
• What is needed for cellular respiration in the air surrounding the organism?

  Oxygen
• can plants do photosynthesis?

  yes
• can animals do photosynthesis?

  no
• do plants perform respiration?

  yes
