M4 L2 Gizmo Simulation: Cell Energy Cycle Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. What does a plant need to survive and grow? Water air sun 2. What does an animal need to survive and grow? Water food shelter 3. How do animals and plants depend on each other? Animals eat the food and the plants grow off of it Gizmo Warm-up The Cell Energy Cycle Gizmo™ illustrates two processes that are essential to life: photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Although both of these reactions involve a series of complex steps, the basic reactants and products in each process are four relatively simple molecules. 1. What is the chemical formula of oxygen? 02 2. Glucose is a simple sugar. What is the chemical formula of glucose? c6h1206 3. What is the chemical formula of carbon dioxide? c02 4. What is the chemical formula of water? h20
