Why do cells carry out respiration continuously? 15. Is the following sentence true or false? Respiration that takes place inside of cells is the same as breathing air in and out of the lungs. 16. Write the chemical equation for the process of cellular respiration. Science Explorer Grade 6 Guided Reading and Study Workbook 57
CHAPTER 5, Cell Processes and Energy (continued) 17. Use the table below to list the raw materials and products of respiration. Respiration Raw Materials Products Comparing Photosynthesis and Respiration (page 167) 18. Complete the cycle diagram below, which describes the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration. See Figure 9 on page 167. Photosynthesis Respiration Plants produce. Animals use. Plants use. Animals produce. 19. Is the following sentence true or false? Together, photosynthesis and respiration form a cycle that keeps the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide fairly constant in Earth s atmosphere. 58 Guided Reading and Study Workbook Science Explorer Grade 6
Fermentation (pages 167 168) 20. What is fermentation? 21. Is the following sentence true or false? Fermentation releases more energy than respiration. 22. List the two types of fermentation, and tell where each takes place. a. b. 23. Is the following sentence true or false? Lactic acid fermentation takes place when cells use oxygen more slowly than it is replaced. Reading Skill Practice Writing a summary can help you remember the important ideas of what you have read. Write a summary of the process of photosynthesis. Your summary should be much shorter than the text on which it is based. Do your work on a separate sheet of paper. SECTION 5 3 Cell Division (pages 170-177) This section explains how cells grow and divide. The Cell Cycle (page 171) 1. The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo is called the.
