WTMS: Cell Processes

	Cell Energy

Cell energy is produced in a certain way. In plants, energy is produced by combining three main ingredients in the
chloroplasts (). In animals energy is obtained by the outside world and turned into energy

Photosynthesis requires the following:

Carbon Dioxide      This is a carbon dioxide molocuele.

Water     This is a water molocuele. In photosynthesis it is broken down by the sun's rays and the oxygen exits the cell.

Sunlight      The sunlight is used the start the process of photosynthesis and to break down the water.

Chlorophyll      The chlorophyll makes the plant green. It takes in the sunlight.

The end products are:

Glucose Glucose is the food made by the plant. It is a simple sugar.

Oxygen Oxygen is used by us, but in photosynthesis it is just an end product.

Photosynthesis:

This is an animation I made of photosynthesis. It has all the necessary ingredients, carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. These combine together to form glucose.

There is a certain formula for photosynthesis. Here it is.

Carbon Dioxide (6) + Water (6) Sunlight > Glucose (1) + Oxygen (6)
Clorophyll>

Because oxygen is given off as a waste product, you might think that plants do not require it . Not so. Just as do almost all other living things, green plants need oxygen in order to release the energy in food.

Autotrophs Vs Heterotrophs

Autotrophs	Heterotrophs
Autotrophs produce there own food to get their energy.	Heterotrophs need to eat food to get their energy.

Cell Respiration

Cell respiration is the process by which food (glucose) is turned into energy. Glucose and oxygen are combined together in the mitochondria. The mitochnodria uses these ingredients to break down the glucose into energy. This energy is known as ATP.

Cell Respiration requires the following:

Glucose Glucose is the food made by the plant. It is a simple sugar.

Oxygen Oxygen is used by us, but in photosynthesis it is just an end product.

The products of cell respiration are:

Carbon Dioxide      This is a carbon dioxide molocuele.

Water      This is a water molocuele. In photosynthesis it is broken down by the sun's rays and the oxygen exits the cell.

ATP (energy)      This is the substance in which the cell stores its energy.

There is a certain formula for cell respiration. Here it is:

Glucose (1) + Oxygen (6) --------------> Carbon Dioxide (6) + Water (6) + ATP(energy)

Cell Respiration:

This is an animation I made of cell respiration. It has all the nessassary ingredients, glucose and oxygen. These ingriedents combine to make energy. Energy is also known as ATP.

The Two Types of Cell Respiration

Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration

The process aerobic respiration (seen above in animation) uses oxygen to produce APT. An example of a type of an organism that does this kind of respiration would be our own human cells. The process of anaerobic respiration uses no oxygen to produce APT. It is less efficient and it produces carbon dioxide, what bakers use to puff up the bread. An example would be yeast.

Carbon Dioxide		This is a carbon dioxide molocuele.
Water		This is a water molocuele. In photosynthesis it is broken down by the sun's rays and the oxygen exits the cell.
Sunlight		The sunlight is used the start the process of photosynthesis and to break down the water.
Chlorophyll		The chlorophyll makes the plant green. It takes in the sunlight.

Glucose		Glucose is the food made by the plant. It is a simple sugar.
Oxygen		Oxygen is used by us, but in photosynthesis it is just an end product.
