    Study Notes

    Photosynthesis

    • Starch is produced in the green parts of a variegated leaf
    • Chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis
    • Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis
    • Light is necessary for photosynthesis

    Importance of Photosynthesis

    • Provides food for living things
    • Maintains the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in nature
    • Plants make their own food through photosynthesis, becoming producers
    • Supports the food chain, providing energy for other living things

    Food Chain

    • Producers (plants) are the ultimate source of energy
    • Consumers (animals) obtain energy by feeding on producers or other consumers
    • Energy is lost as it flows from one level to the next in the food chain

    Respiration

    • Respiration is the process by which living things obtain energy
    • Respiration releases energy from food, similar to burning a nut
    • Energy from respiration is used by living things

    Gas Exchange in Plants and Animals

    • Photosynthesis and respiration occur in plants
    • Gas exchange in animals involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs
    • Inhaled air contains more oxygen and less carbon dioxide than exhaled air
    • Exhaled air contains more carbon dioxide and less oxygen than inhaled air due to respiration
