Complete the statements below to compile a summary of this unit. The missing words can be found
in the word list below. Two of the words may be used twice.
  1. The chemical reaction that makes energy available to living organisms is respiration .
light
  2. Some organisms, including plants, are able to capture visible
energy and
convert it to stored chemical energy.
oxygen
Energy
  3. Aerobic respiration requires glucose and
.
is released while
water
carbon dioxide and
are produced.
oxygen
  4. The
molecule is not involved in anaerobic respiration.
less
  5. Anaerobic respiration releases
energy than aerobic respiration.
mitochondria
  6. The
are the organelles within cells where respiration takes place.
  7. In a human body chemical energy is transformed into kinetic energy, sound energy and new
chemical
forms of
energy.

  8. When a person’s energy intake is
than the amount of energy used, energy is
stored in the form of fat and glycogen molecules, and weight is gained.
  9. Fermentation is an anaerobic reaction that produces alcohol.
carbon
dioxide
10. Plants are able to make food from two simple molecules,
water
and
, using light energy in the presence of chlorophyll . The process is
called photosynthesis .
11. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts , which are located in the cytoplasm of
plant cells.
sun
12. The energy in our food originally came from the
.
glucose
13. As well as producing oxygen, photosynthesis also produces the
molecule.
14. Once energy has passed through the food web, it is transformed into thermal energy which
heats
the environment and radiates out into space.
recycled
15. Atoms are continuously
through living organisms and the non-living
environment.
fats
16. Carbon is found in carbohydrates, proteins and
in food.
proteins
17. Nitrogen is essential to all forms of life because it is used to make
.
bacteria
18. Nitrogen-fixing
are the only forms of life that can put nitrogen in a form
that plants, and thus animals, can use.
19. Decomposers are the organisms which are responsible for converting dead material into a
form which can be absorbed by plant life and remade into food.
20. Photosynthesis and respiration link the journey of energy through the ecosystem .
