Photosynthesis and Respiration

What is photosynthesis? A chemical reaction that occurs in plants that changes light energy to chemical energy ________ is stored as ________ Occurs in ______ and some ______ Takes place in ____________ during _____________

What happens during photosynthesis? Plants capture ________ ________ and use it to make __________ ________ provides the energy to change molecules of ________ ________ and water into __________ __________ is a byproduct and is released during this process

The photosynthesis recipe LIGHT ENERGY Carbon Dioxide + water Glucose + oxygen REACTANTS PRODUCTS

The equation of the chemical reaction photosynthesis LIGHT ENERGY 6 CO2 + 6 H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 REACTANTS PRODUCTS

Why is this important to us? We cannot make our own food, and depend on __________ such as ________ to provide glucose and energy Plants are the first part of food chains, and an integral (important) part of food webs Without __________, __________ would not be able to get energy, and would most likely die

What about the oxygen released? This becomes part of the _____ that we ________, and is necessary for all living things

From the producer to the consumer… Once the energy from the sunlight is converted into chemical energy by photosynthesis, an organism has to transfer that energy into a usable form, called _____ Transferring the energy into a usable form is called __________ ____________

Cellular Respiration Takes place in the cells and ____________ of _____ living things That means __________ AND ________ Is a step by step process that breaks down ___________ molecules to release __________

The recipe for cellular respiration Glucose + oxygen Carbon Dioxide + water + ENERGY REACTANTS PRODUCTS

The chemical equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ENERGY REACTANTS PRODUCTS

Aerobic Respiration Organisms that use __________ to free the energy from their food are said to use Aerobic Respiration Aerobic means “_______ __________”

Anaerobic Respiration Organisms that do not use oxygen but have developed another way to release the energy from their food are said to use ____________ ___________. Remember that the prefix A- or An- means _____ so Anaerobic means “not aerobic” or without oxygen.
