In photosynthesis, energy is store in the form of
sugar
Division of labor within an organism means that each cell or tissue
does not have to perform every function of the organism
Carbon dioxide is a waste product in which process
aerobic cellular respiration
Cell is to tissue as tissue is to
organ
The purpose of cellular respiration is to
produce usable energy for the cell
The level of cellular organization from least complex to most complex
cell > tissue > organ > organ system
In aerobic cellular respiration, the chemical energy of sugar is concerted into
ATP
Equation of photosynthese
carbon dioxide + water + light energy -> sugar + oxygen
Photosynthesis needs these
light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water
The breakdown of an energy source (usually sugar) to obtain usable energy for the cell is the process of
cellular respiration
This type of anaerobic cellular respiration is performed by yeast cells in bread making
alcoholic fermentation
The end products of photosynthesis
sugar and oxygen
Examples of consumers
humans, animals, fungi
Photosynthesis occurs in
plants
Cellular respiration occurs in
humans, plants, animals, fungi
Organisms that are made of many cells that usually live together, but are able to also live independently
colonial organism
The type of respiration that produces less efficiently
Anaerobic
The reactants of photosynthesis
carbon dioxide, water, light energy
Photosynthesis is an example of
irreducible complexity
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis require these
enzymes
The usable sugar for the cell
glucose
The color of chlorophyll
green
Chlorophyll’s function in photosynthesis is
to absorb light energy from the sun
Uses energy from sunlight
photosynthesis
