Vocabulary
- Photosynthesis — The process by which a plant gathers sunlight, water, and other things to create energy.
- Glucose — A sugar molecule with the chemical formula
C6H12O6, formed from elements within the plant. - Lysine — An amino acid molecule with the chemical formula
C6H14N2O2, formed by breaking down glucose and adding other elements. - Molecule — A group of atoms bonded together, which can be seen at a deeper level within the plant.
Questions
Watch the video carefully and answer the following questions based on the information presented.
1.
At what point in the video does the narrator state that we are “deeper into the plant” and can “see the molecules”?
2.
Based on the molecular models shown, what color represents Carbon atoms in both glucose and lysine?
3.
After glucose is formed, what does the video state happens to it before lysine is created?
4.
Which of the following elements is introduced to the glucose molecule (
C6H12O6) to form the amino acid lysine (C6H14N2O2)?5.
The video illustrates the transformation of sugars into amino acids within a plant. Discuss the importance of this chemical transformation for the plant’s biological functions and explain how this process contributes to the overall flow of energy and matter in an ecosystem.
