Photosynthesis
What is the primary pigment in plant cells that captures light energy for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
what part do oxygen and glucose take in cellular respiration?
They are reactants
Name one molecule that is both produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.
Oxygen (O2) or glucose
one produces gas toxic for humans to inhale while the other produces a gas that humans need to survive
cellular respiration and photosynthesis
Why is photosynthesis essential for maintaining oxygen levels on Earth?
Photosynthesis produces oxygen , which is necessary for the respiration of most living organisms
Which gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis to be used in the process?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Which gas is required for cellular respiration and is a product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen (O2)
where does the energy to start photosynthesis and to cellular respiration come from?
The sun / solar energy
How do the locations of photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ within a cell?
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, while cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.
why must cells perform cellular respiration?
It provides cells with the energy they need to function
what are the main products of photosynthesis
glucose and oxygen
what is the equation of cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 +6 O2 ——>6 CO2+ 6 H2O
how are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
The products of one process are the reactants of the other.
Compare the primary functions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in plants.
Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, providing energy, while Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to produce ATP for cellular processes.
Explain how the concepts of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are relevant to agriculture and food production.
Photosynthesis grows the crops, while cellular respiration in plants and animals contributes to growth.
In which organelle does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?
Chloroplasts
In which organelle does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
What is the shared role of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
ATP is the primary energy carrier molecule used to transfer and store energy in both processes.
what main things do cellular respiration and photosynthesis bring?
Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), light energy. Cellular Respiration: Glucose (C6H12O6), oxygen (O2)
how do humans use the products of photosynthesis?
For energy
what is the equation of photsynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the main products of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)
How do both processes contribute to keeping an ecosystem alive?
Both processes are necessary to keep ecosystems alive. Plants create glucose and oxygen which are used in cellular respiration and animals create carbon dioxide and water which are used in photosynthesis.
How do the locations of photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ within a cell?
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, while cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.
humans breathe in this gas everyday in order to live
oxygen
