Photosynthesis and Respiration Study Guide
Photosynthesis
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
1. Plants
2. Animals
3. Some bacteria
4. Protists
5. Some fungi
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
1. Yeast/fungi
2. Some bacteria
Define fermentation. Fermentation is a process by which food is broken down
without oxygen, in living organisms, to produce ATP.
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”
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!
