Lil Dejay C4 2/10/14 Photosynthesis: Making Energy Chloroplasts Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight energy is used to make glucose. The site of photosynthesis is in the chloroplast – an organelle found in the leaves of green plants. The main functions of chloroplasts are to produce food (glucose) during photosynthesis‚ and to store food energy. Chloroplasts contain the pigment‚ chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs most of the colors in the color spectrum‚ and reflects only green and yellow

Associate Program Material Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? Cellular respiration is a metabolic process that all living organisms use to harvest from foods in the form of adenosine triphosphate. There are three stages of cellular respiration-glycolysis‚ citric acid cycle‚ and electron transport chain. What is the role of glycolysis? Include the reactants and the products. Where

The Mystery of the Seven Deaths: A Case Study in Cellular Respiration In this case study‚ there were seven murders of which the cause is hypoxia. All seven victims were from the same neighborhood with similar symptoms. These symptoms are dizziness‚ confusion‚ headache‚ shortness of breath‚ and vomiting. The individuals in this case study are in fact similar. They all have the same symptoms‚ and live in the same area. Questions a chief medical officer would ask are; how was the individual acting

Analyzing the Rate of Cellular Respiration in Germinating and Non-germinating Black-eyed Peas I. Hypothesis If the cellular respiration rate of germinating black-eyed peas and non-germinating black-eyed peas is compared then the germinating black-eyed peas will have the higher respiration rate. II. Background Organisms need some sort of energy to facilitate their growth and development. Usually‚ this energy is in the form of adenosine triphosphate‚ or ATP. Cellular respiration is the process that

Biology Study Guides - SparkNotes Cellular Respiration I. Reaction: C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O ——> 6CO2 + 12 H2O + energy (38 ATP and heat) II. Aerobic Cellular Respiration occurs in three stages. A. Glycolysis (occurs in the cytoplasm) 1. One glucose is split into two pyruvates (C3H4O3). 2. 4 ATP are produced‚ but 2 endergonic reactions use up 2 ATP. 3. Glycolysis requires no oxygen‚ and occurs whether oxygen is present or not. 4

photosynthesis‚ but also cellular respiration (Reddy et al. 1970). Cellular respiration‚ an array of metabolic processes‚ in plants is the oxidation of the chemical energy from acquired nutrients into energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate. In a germinating pea‚ which respires‚ the mitochondria provides cellular ATP‚ this is possible because it is utilizing stored nutrients (Stupnikova et al. 2006) In order to determine if a non-germinating pea respires‚ its respiration rates can be quantified

6.1 Photosynthesis and cellular respiration provide energy for life A. Cellular respiration is the aerobic harvesting of energy from sugar by muscle cells. B. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis work together to provide energy. 6.2 Breathing supplies oxygen to our cells and removes carbon dioxide A. An organism obtains oxygen from its environment and releases carbon dioxide as waste. B. Breathing and cellular respiration are closely related‚ but not the same

bioJared Kerr Chapter 7 Section 2 I. Aerobic Respiration a. Overview of aerobic 1. Aerobic respiration has two major stages; the Krebs Cycle and the electron transport chain. 2. In the Krebs cycle‚ the oxidation of glucose that began with glycolysis is completed. 3. In the electron transport chain‚ NADH is use to make ATP. 4. In prokaryotes the reactions take place in the cytoeol. 5. In eukaryotes the reactions take place in the mitochondria. 6. The mitochondrial
