unit 1b bio - matter and energy Flashcards
(36 cards)
matter
can be conserved, tanserved, and recycled
energy
can be trnaformed or tranfered. But can not be recycled.
quick explanation of photosynthesis
converts matter inot a usable form
quick explantion of cellular respriation
tranfers energy into usable form
matter detailed explantion
matter is conserved in chemical reactions, meaning the total amout remains constant even when it changes form. Int he photosynthesis matter is cahnged to uable fomr glucose. in the reactions number of moleces is the same.
energy detialed explantion
energy transferred from one form to another. Photosynthesis captures light energy and sotes it glucose as chemical bonds, while cellular respriation realeases this sotred enrgy in an usable form for the cell like ATP.
photosynthesis and cellular respiration cycle
phto converts light enegy and stores it as chemical energy in the bonds of lucose. The, cellrespeation converts the chemical energy for ATP for cells to use.
key point for outputa and inputs
the outputs of one of the process becomes the input for the other. shows a continous cycle.
cellular respiration equation
C6H12O6 + 6CO2 —–> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
Autotroph
- producers
- can make their own food using sunlight
- plants, algi, some bacteira
photosyntheis equation
6CO2 + 6H20 + light energy —-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
heterotroph
- consumers
- can not build their own food
- animals, fungi, and most bacteria
stomata
leaves have opeaniga called stomata that is used to exchange gases . CO2 and oxygen
xylem
leaaves have xylem for water transport
phloem
leaves have phloem for sugar transport.
mesophyll
the mesophyll cells have the chloroplasts
the 2 main parts of chloroplasts
Grana, and Stroma
Grana
has stacks of thylakois Which are flattened sturctures that have chlorophyll
stroma
the gell like space outside of the thylakoid
chlorophyll
- the main pigment in chloroplast that absobs light
- absobs mostly violet blue light anf re-orange light
2 steps of photosyntheisi
1- light dependant reactionand 2 - light indepndant reaction/ calvin cycle
light dependant reaction
- occus in thylakind
- water and sunlight needed
- oxygen is realseaed
indepndant reaction/ calvin cycle
- occus in stroma
- need co2
- uses energy from light dependant reaction to build sugars.
light affecting photpsyntheisis
low liight = low rae of photosytheiss
- light past the optimun has no effect
- the smae with co2
