Find all assignments, lectures, and handouts listed above and revisit them.
Connect all of the above terms/concepts together.
a. One way to do this would be to pick three terms and form a sentence that uses all three terms in context.
b. Draw diagrams to help you remember difficult-to-remember terms.
Explain how an endothermic reaction is different from an exothermic reaction. Which is more like cell respiration and which is more like photosynthesis and why?
Draw our experimental set up of an exothermic and endothermic reaction, and on it label where energy transformations take place.
Draw an enzyme/substrate complex before, during and after the reaction.
Explain factors that may affect enzyme reaction rate, photosynthetic rate, and cell respiration rate.
Explain how pH is used to measure photosynthetic rate in plants.
Explain what pH is and how buffered solutions work.
Draw a simple plant cell, showing a chloroplast and the nucleus. Show where chlorophyll is stored and label where these stages occur: conversion of light E  chemical E and Carbon
Fixation. Label all types of energy in each stage.
Label all the inputs and outputs of Photosynthesis.
Draw a simple cell, showing some mitochondria and the nucleus. Label where these stages occur: Glycolysis, Kreb’s Cycle, Electron Transport System
Label the inputs and outputs of Cell Respiration.
Connect any of the inputs and outputs. What do you see? What are the connections between cell respiration and photosynthesis?
List several forms of energy and possible energy transformations.
Complete the crossword puzzle below.

Across
2. The stage of cell respiration that takes place in the cell's
cytoplasm; The products of which include ATP and 2 molecules
of pyruvate.
5. A biomacromolecule made up of amino acids.
8. Anything (solid, liquid, gas) made up of atoms.
10. A by-product of cell respiration; It is formed during the
Kreb's Cycle.
11. An organism that is dependent on other organisms as
energy sources.
14. Fluid that fills the "empty space of eukaryotic cells; Where
cell organelles are suspended.
15. A chemical reaction that absorbs heat from the
surroundings
16. An output of the first phase of photosynthesis; It is used to
power Carbon Fixation.
17. Examples include heat, sound, light. It is anything with the
ability to cause change in matter; It is contained and stored
within matter.
18. A smaller compartment within the chloroplast that stores
chlorophyll within its membrane.
19. A combination of reactions that use light energy and
atmospheric carbon dioxide to synthesize large energy-rich
molecules.
21. The incorporation of atmospheric CO2 into a carbohydrate
molecule.
22. These hold atoms together in an arranged order to form
molecules.
23. A six-carbon sugar that is produced in photosynthesis.
Down
1. The cell organelle that is the site of Kreb's Cycle
3. Thylakoids are embedded within this plant cell structure.
4. A by-product of photosynthesis; It is formed and released
during the first phase of photosynthesis.
6. The fluid that surrounds thylakoid stacks. Also the location in
which carbon fixation takes place.
7. The stage of cell respiration that takes in the products of
glycolysis and produces two ATP molecules.
9. A small, high-energy molecule that can be used by cells. It is
the by-product of glucose breakdown.
10. A series of reactions used by all living things that allows the
breakdown of food in order to obtain its stored energy.
12. The amount of energy required to raise one gram of water
by one degree Celsius; 1000 of these are what is reported on
food labels.
13. A pigment found in cells that appears green to our eyes.
15. A chemical reaction that releases heat into the
environment
20. An organism that is dependent only on itself for providing
itself with energy.
