    Gizmos Name: Dale: Student Exploration: Cell Energy Cycle (20 pts : practice) Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Vocabulary: • aerobic respiration: metabolic reactions that take place in lhe milochondria of lhe cell thal convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules and glucose into ATP and by products. • anaerobic respiration: respiration that takes place without oxygen in the cytoplasm. • ATP: stands for Adenosine triphosphate It is an energy-carrying molecule in biotic organisms. • cellular respiration: metabolic reactions that take place in the cell that convert chemical energy in molecules into ATP and by products. • chemical energy: energy that is stored in bonds. • chlorophyll: green pigment in plants thal allows plants Io do photosynthesis. • chloroplast: organelle in plant cells. Site of photosynthesis. • cytoplasm: material within living cells • glucose: simple sugar, monosaccharide. Important for aerobic cellular respiration. • glycolysis: series of reactions that lead to lhe breakdown of glucose. • mitochondria: organelle found in cells. Where cellular respiration occurs in animal cells. • photosynthesis: process where plants use lighl energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. • radiant energy: light energy. Comes from the sun. Prior Knowledge Questions (Do lhese BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. What does a plant need to survive and grow? 2. What does an animal need to survive and grow? 3. How do animals and plants depend on each other? surihgM and walet food water and sunlight plants grow to provide anima Is with food

    Gizmo Warm-up The Cel! Energy CycteGizmo™ illustrates Iwo processes lhal are essential to life: photosynthesis and cellular respiration Although both of these processes involve a series of complex steps, the inputs and outputs of each process are tour relatively simple molecules. 1. What is th e ch e m i cal fo rmula of oxy g en? 02 . 1 SuflOH CtHiaOr, Ctton ■ /. ater J- HzQ j] 2. Glucose is a simple sugar. What is the chemical formula of glucose? C6H12O6 3. What is th e ch e m i cal fo rmula of ca rbon d iox id e? C02 4. What is th e ch e m i cal fo rmula of wate r? H20 Get the Gizmo ready • If necessary, click Reset. • Check that the PHOTOSYNTHESIS lab is selected. Check that Description is lumed on Activity A: Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis occurs in lhe chloroplast an organelle found in plant and algae cells. Within the chloroplast, a green pigment called chlorophyll converts the radiant energy of sunlight into chemical energy thal the plant can use. Question: What are the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis? 1. Predict: Of the molecules shown on the MOLECULES pane, which do you think are inputs {ingredients) in photosynthesis? Which do you think are outputs? Inputs: H20 Outputs: 02 2. Explore: Drag each molecule from lhe MOLECULES pane Io the chloroplast on the PHOTOSYNTHESIS pane. If a molecule is an input, it will stay in the chloroplast. Which molecules are inputs in photosynthesis? 02 and C6I1120< 3. Observe: Click Add light and look at the Output. Whal are the outputs of photosynthesis?
