Ms. Tabua- Photosynthesis/Respiration

Front

What is a HETEROTROPH?

Back

An organism that cannot produce its own food and must consume other organisms for energy, e.g., a bear.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that requires oxygen to produce energy.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing less energy than aerobic respiration.

Front

What are AUTOTROPHS?

Back

Organisms that can produce their own food through photosynthesis, e.g., plants.

Front

Which organisms perform Photosynthesis?

Back

Only Autotrophs.

Front

What is the main function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does cellular respiration take place in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in terms of ATP production?

Back

Aerobic respiration produces more ATP than anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is fermentation?

Back

A type of anaerobic respiration that occurs in some organisms, producing energy without oxygen.
