Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration & Fermentation Study Blog

HELP! The Plants Are Outsmarting Me!

We farm plants but do not ourselves photosynthesize, we are hetertrophs!

OK, short week so not much to put on the blog. To be successful I would:

Read and take quality notes on 42-53

To SAVE paper and the environment please find the weekly vocab list below:

• Cellular respiration
• Fermentation – both types
• Glucose
• Heterotrophic or Heterotroph
• Autotrophic or Autotroph
• Lactic Acid
• Mitochondria
• Chloroplast
• Chlorophyll
• Photosynthesis
• Pigment
• Fungi Kingdom
• Plant Kingdom
• Animal Kingdom
• Producer
• Consumer

To be successful on Friday's test, consider:

• Check out the chapter review in the back of the chapter
• Make sure I know all the words used in ALL the handouts
• Review and know all the crossword puzzle words
• Review and know all the words and terms on the TWO guided reading sheets we did in class.
• Know the Magnetic Word sheet cold!
• Might go and check out the MCAS questions on respiration, fermentation and photosynthesis on the DOE's web site. Hum, wonder if I will have time to swipe some of these? Might even use some high school questions! They are review questions for information we cover this year in science. You might consider trying the following words for ALL subjects or Science, Technology, Engineering:

- Chlorophyll
- Photosynthesis
- Glucose
- Respiration

Wonder what site the above link takes you fellow heterotrophs too?

1. What are the by-products of the two types of fermentation?

2. Do you know what two molecules are needed for photosynthesis?

3. What is the formula for photosynthesis?

4. What does photosynthesis make?

5. What does photosynthesis store? How?

6. What organelle performs photosynthesis?

7. In which organelle do cellular respiration and fermentation take place?

8. Why do animal cells NOT have the ability to photosynthesize?

9. Where do plants get Carbon Dioxide from to perform photosynthesis.

10. Ask questions in class about the information you do not understand that is covered on the 4 worksheets we worked on in class!!!
