-water
-light
-carbon dioxide

What is the chemical formula?
-C6H12O6 + 6O2

Structure of the chloroplast?
-left half of chloroplast is the LIGHT REACTION which produces ATP and NADPH for the Calvin Cycle
-water is oxidized & oxygen is released in the LIGHT REACTION
-right half of chloroplast is the CALVIN CYCLE where the sun's energy gets converted into stored sugar molecules such as glucose

How is light energy transformed into chemical energy?
-it undergoes oxidation
-when a photochemically excited special chlorophyll molecule loses an electron, that allows it to go through oxidation]]> 2016-12-09 20:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kangbaoyang001/cougars_bravo/wish/142905764 kangbaoyang001 https://padlet.com/kangbaoyang001/cougars_bravo/wish/142931708 Law of Conservation of Matter
-principal that no matter is either created nor destroyed in an isolated system
-mass of objects never change over time no matter the rearrangement 

Law of Conservation of Energy
-energy can neither be created nor destroyed but changed into a different form
-energy remains constant in an isolated room

Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy
-mass and energy can be converted from one another

How is energy equal to matter?
-matter is just frozen light
-a light is matter on the move
-E=mc2 (second power)]]> 2016-12-10 05:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kangbaoyang001/cougars_bravo/wish/142931708 kangbaoyang001 https://padlet.com/kangbaoyang001/cougars_bravo/wish/142932210 Cellular Respiration
-converts biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP
-the name of the process of Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and the electron transport chain

Products of Photosynthesis = Reactants of Cellular Respiration]]> 2016-12-10 05:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kangbaoyang001/cougars_bravo/wish/142932210 kangbaoyang001 https://padlet.com/kangbaoyang001/cougars_bravo/wish/142932382 -the transfer of energy into an ecosystem
-Autotrophs are producers that make their own foods and energy, such as plants (*most amount of energy available)
-Heterotrophs are consumers that cannot make their own foods and rely on autotrophs (*second highest amount of energy available)
-Herbivores are plant eaters (*also the second highest amount of energy available w/ heterotrophs & 10% of energy available)
-Omnivores eat both plants and meats (*Secondary Consumers, the second least amount of energy available w/ only 1% available)
-Carnivores are meat eaters (*Secondary Consumers AND Tiertiary Consumers that have only less than 1% of energy available)
-Decomposers are organisms that feed off carcasses or dead/waste; such as maggets, or fungi

-contains the major elements of:
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Sulfur

The Structures of the Major Biomolecules
-amino acids are the building blocks to proteins
-nucleic acid is found in DNA & RNA
-carbohydrates are made up of monomers
-lipids are made of long hydrocarbon chains]]> 2016-12-10 06:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kangbaoyang001/cougars_bravo/wish/142932859 kangbaoyang001 https://padlet.com/kangbaoyang001/cougars_bravo/wish/142933531 How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related to one another in the biosphere?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration needs one another in order to function such as; photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen which cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide

What role does photosynthesis play in altering Earth's atmosphere?
Photosynthesis plays a huge role in altering Earth's atmosphere because it creates oxygen that makes up nearly 21% of the atmosphere.

If cells can produce chemical energy in an anaerobic environment, why do we need oxygen?
We need oxygen regardless, because it provides energy to the body freely AND if the environment wasn't anaerobic we wouldn't have any source of energy, or even life. Oxygen also gives energy to cells do they can make ATP.

How is energy transformed and matter utilized by living things?
Energy is transformed by living things because it states in the Law of Conservation of Energy, that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but changed into a different form that proves energy is being transformed. Matter is utilized by living things because it states in the Law of Conservation of Matter that mater is either created nor destroyed in an isolated system, that shows matter is being utilized.

What role do photosynthesis and cellular respiration play in the recycling of carbon?
When cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide out of the air and breaks it up for another purpose.]]> 2016-12-10 06:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kangbaoyang001/cougars_bravo/wish/142933531
