Photosynthesis
What is the primary pigment in plant cells that captures light energy for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
What is the primary molecule that cells use as a source of energy for cellular respiration
Glucose (C6H12O6)
Name one molecule that is both produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.
Oxygen (O2)
What are the main inputs for photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), light energy. Cellular Respiration: Glucose (C6H12O6), oxygen (O2)
What is a snack that smiles back?
Goldfish
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)
What is the full name of the energy created during respiration?
Adenosine Triphosphate
How do the locations of photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ within a cell?
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, while cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.
What is the main product of photosynthesis, which serves as a source of energy for cells?
Glucose (C6H12O6)
What is the first step of cellular respiration called?
Glycolysis
Compare the primary functions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in plants.
Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, providing energy and raw materials for growth. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to produce ATP for cellular processes.
True or False: A platypus is a mammal
True
In which organelle does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?
Chloroplasts
In which organelle does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
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.
Why is photosynthesis essential for maintaining oxygen levels on Earth?
Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a byproduct, which is necessary for the respiration of most living organisms
Name one factor that affects the rate of photosynthesis
Light intensity, temperature, carbon dioxide concentration
What are the main waste products of cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)
What is the full equation of respiration?
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
