D Block Data for Analyzing CO2 Production Lab
Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Snow Day Homework
Here is the worksheet for homework. Read all directions. Create arrow tips pointing towards the organism eating/getting energy.
Read, highlight important information, and find (write down) as many producers, herbivores, etc..
C Block Data for the graph
A Block Data for the graph
Use this Study Guide to help prepare your note card!!!!

Photosynthesis and Respiration Study Guide
Photosynthesis
- Why? To convert sunlight energy to chemical energy
- Whom?
1. All green plants (Plant Kingdom),
2. photosynthetic bacteria,
3. plant-like protists (algae)
- Where? Leaves(organs), specifically chloroplasts
- When? During daylight/sunlight (even on a cloudy day)
- What? Chloroplasts [are making food/glucose]; “Mean green photosynthesizing machines”
Define Photosynthesis. “The Putting Together With Light”
- Producers/autotrophs - organisms that can make their own food.
- We get so much from the process of photosynthesis: food, clothing medicines, wood, oxygen, paper, pencils, flowers, and so much more!
Respiration/Aerobic Respiration
- Why? To produce ATP
- Whom? All aerobes (organisms that use oxygen); producers and consumers
1. Plants
2. Animals
3. Some bacteria
4. Protists
5. Some fungi
- Where? Begins in the Cytoplasm and moves into the Mitochondria
- When? Constantly
- What? Food/glucose is being broken down to release energy
Define respiration. The metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules; processes that take place in the cells and tissues during which ATP energy is released and carbon dioxide and water is produced.
Fermentation/Anaerobic Respiration
- Why? To produce ATP
- Whom? All anaerobes (organisms that do not use oxygen)
1. Yeast/fungi
2. Some bacteria
- Where? Cytoplasm
- When? Constantly
- What? Food/glucose [is being fermented]
Define fermentation. Fermentation is a process by which food is broken down
without oxygen, in living organisms, to produce ATP.
- What industries use fermentation?
1. Baking (CO2)
2. Brewing (Alcohol and CO2)
3. Dairy (Lactic Acid)
- What are the reactants ? One sugar (C6H12O6) (and a ATP investment).
- What are the products of fermentation? ATP and [CO2, alcohol] OR [ lactic acid]
Consumers/heterotrophs - organisms that must obtain food sources from other organisms.
- Herbivores - eat only plants
- Carnivores - eat only meat
- Omnivores - eat both plants and meat
- Scavengers - organisms that eat dead organisms
- Decomposers/Detritivores - Break down organisms, “nature’s recyclers”
- Arrows point towards the organism obtaining energy or eating!
Metabolism - The chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.
Enzymes - Help speed up chemical processes by breaking substances apart or putting substances together. Think about the Pineapple Lab!
