Part 1 Respiration & Photosynthesis
2
Key Question: Why do we need to eat food? Initial Thoughts: Cells need energy to do work. For example: moving your muscles, thinking with your brain, fighting off illnesses, just to name a few.
3
We need Oxygen and sugar (glucose) to get energy for our cells to do things. As a byproduct, CO 2 (carbon dioxide) and H 2 O (water) are given off. We breathe in O 2, breath out CO 2
4
Plants can make their own food using sunlight as energy. What organelle do plants use to do this? Chloroplast It’s what makes plants GREEN
5
They absorb water through their roots & CO2 through their leaves. They use sunlight to power this transformation into food. They store their food in the form of sugars (glucose).
6
When you eat potatoes, rice, beans, or wheat flour, you are eating big molecules of glucose called starch, made through photosynthesis. Starches are a type of carbohydrate.
7
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Activity Work with a partner, but each of you must record your equations & answers in your journal. Answer in complete sentences. When you have arranged your cards, raise your hand and I will initial your paper for each equation.
8
glucose/sugar ATP Reactants Products (what goes in) (What comes out) H 2 0 + CO 2 + E O 2 + C 6 H 12 O 6
9
glucose/sugar Reactants Products (what goes in) (What comes out) H 2 0 + CO 2 + EO 2 + C 6 H 12 O 6
10
As a byproduct, plants give off Oxygen We consume/eat plants and need oxygen they make. We are called CONSUMERS. This why plants and all photosynthetic organisms are called PRODUCERS.
11
The Cycle CO 2 O 2 Producers Consumers
12
1.Explain what gases are involved in Photosynthesis and Respiration. Which ones are inputs, and which are by-products? 2.Compare the chemical equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How are they similar? How are they different? 3.Do you think plants do cellular respiration? Explain your reasoning.
13
In a well developed paragraph: – What did you think before about how plants & animal cells use food? (look back at your initial thoughts) – What did you learn about how plants & animal cells use food? Be specific! (look back at your evidence section). – What evidence do you have that you learned this? – Further Thoughts Make sure this is thoughtful and thorough.
14
Create a diagram that shows how the gases are recycled between producers and consumers.
15
