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.

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?
