Photosynthesis
What is the primary pigment in plant cells that captures light energy for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
In which organelle does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
Explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected in terms of the cycling of matter.
Photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose, which are used in cellular respiration to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. The carbon and oxygen atoms cycle between these processes.
What are the main inputs for photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), light energy.
Cellular Respiration: Glucose (C6H12O6), oxygen (O2)
Fermentation is what kind of respiration?
Anaerobic respiration
Which gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis to be used in the process? Which gas is released?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Oxygen (O2)
What is the primary molecule that cells use as a source of energy for cellular respiration
Glucose (C6H12O6)
What molecule and what part of it stores chemical energy?
Glucose and in the bonds
What is the balanced equation for Photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H20 + Light energy >> C6H12O6 + O2
What are the two types of fermentation
Lactic Acid and Alcoholic fermentation
What is the main product of photosynthesis, which serves as a source of energy for cells?
Glucose (C6H12O6)
What are the main waste 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.
What molecules/compounds are released during Alcoholic fermentation after the yeast is added the glucose?
Carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol
_______ energy is taken into the chloroplast and converted to _________ energy during photosynthesis.
Solar
Chemical
The energy used to carry out metabolic processes within an organism comes directly from this molecule.
ATP
What is the shared role of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
ATP is the primary energy carrier/source molecule used to transfer and store energy in both processes.
What biological process(es) do green plants carry out that allow the cycling of matter within an ecosystem?
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis
How do you accrue an oxygen debt?
Bonus (extra 200): What is produced in a muscle cell when this occurs? What is the name of this process?
Using up all available oxygen in a given muscle cell. This occurs when your body's demand for oxygen exceeds the supply during intense physical activity, therefore producing lactic acid during anaerobic respiration (fermentation).
Name 2 factors that affects the rate of photosynthesis
Bonus (extra 200): What anatomical part of the plant does photosynthesis occur?
Light intensity, temperature, carbon dioxide concentration
Bonus: The leaves
Describe cellular respiration in terms of chemical energy, glucose, and ATP.
Cellular respiration changes stored chemical energy in the form of glucose (found within its bonds) to a usable form, ATP.
How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration contribute to the energy flow within ecosystems?
Photosynthesis captures and converts solar energy to glucose (chemical energy), and cellular respiration releases this stored chemical energy as ATP, which is used by organisms in ecosystems.
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.
What part of the plant is responsible for transpiration.
Bonus (extra 200): Define transpiration
The stomata/Guard cells
Bonus: The evaporation/loss of water from a plant's leaves to its environment.
