BIO 197 M4_L2_Gizmo_Simulation_Cell Energy Cycle_-_HONORS 2020 – University Of Nevada Name: Thao Ho Date: 6/25 Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) What does a pla... nt need to survive and grow? A plant needs sunlight, water and oxygen. What does an animal need to survive and grow? An animal needs food, water and shelter. How do animals and plants depend on each other? Plants supply things that animals need and animals keep a healthy energy transfer as they consume plants. Gizmo Warm-up The Cell Energy Cycle Gizmo™ illustrates two processes that are essential to life: photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Although both of these reactions involve a series of complex steps, the basic reactants and products in each process are four relatively simple molecules. What is the chemical formula of oxygen? O₂ Glucose is a simple sugar. What is the chemical formula of glucose? C₆H₁₂O₆ What is the chemical formula of carbon dioxide? CO2 What is the chemical formula of water? H2O Activity A: Photosynthesis Get the Gizmo ready: · If necessary, click Reset. · Check that the PHOTOSYNTHESIS tab is selected. Check that Description is turned on. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - is a form of radiant energy. Glucose and ATP molecules store chemical energy. In the photosynthesis chemical equation, does the radiant energy of the Sun act as a reactant or a product? Explain your answer. The radiant energy of the sun in my opinion acts as a reactant as it is used to be turned into chemical energy in photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, what form of energy is sunlight converted to, and how is this energy stored? The sunlight is converted into chemical energy and is stored within the cells of the plant. In the respiration equation, does energy act as a reactant or a product? Explain. The energy acts like a product as the energy is the result of the equation How is the energy produced by respiration stored? The glucose is turned into pyruvate and converted to energy. Summarize: How are respiration and photosynthesis related to each other? Respiration uses the same materials as photosynthesis but in different places. The products of photosynthesis are used as the reactants of respiration and vice versa. Think and discuss: In what ways are plants and animals dependent on each other? Plants put carbon dioxide into the environment which is essential for eukaryotic respiration. [Show More]
