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.
