Answer 10

Plants

Question 11

DO NOT MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD

Answer 11

Heterotrophs

Question 12

The process by which the chemical energy of “food” molecules is released and changed into ATP

Answer 12

Respiration

Question 13

Rod-shaped organelles with a membrane which converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP for the cell

Answer 13

Mitochondria

Question 14

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Answer 14

Respiration Equation

Question 15

What do all of these stand for in the Respiration Equation?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Answer 15

(glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water).

Question 16

What do all of these stand for in the Photosynthesis equation?
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Answer 16

Carbon dioxide, water -> oxygen + glucose

Question 17

Are the Photosynthesis equation and the Respiration Equation the same thing?

Answer 17

No they are opposites of each other
