Light Seekers
What comes first light-dependent or light-independent reactions?
Light dependent
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
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
how do humans use the products of photosynthesis?
For energy
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 by-product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen (O2)
In the electromagnetic spectrum, in what form does solar/light energy being utilized by plants?
photons
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 and in what particular structures?
Chloroplasts - thylakoid membrane (light rxns), stroma (Calvin cycle)
In which organelle/s does cellular respiration take place? Start-Finish
Cytoplasm (Glycolysis) Mitochondria (Krebs - matrix & ETC- inner membrane)
What does ADP need to make it ATP?
Another Phosphate (inorganic phosphate)
what main things do cellular respiration and photosynthesis bring/takes in?
Photosynthesis: CO2, H2O & light energy
Cellular Respiration: Glucose (C6H12O6), oxygen (O2)
In plant Physiology, why are plants green?
Plants are green because chlorophyll reflects green light while efficiently absorbing red and blue light for photosynthesis.
what is the equation of photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the main products of cellular respiration?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)
Heat - byproduct
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.
Why is photosynthesis essential for maintaining oxygen levels on Earth?
Photosynthesis produces oxygen , which is necessary for the respiration of most living organisms
