Before Photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
Big Picture
Photosynthesis
100

The organelle where light is captured in a plant cell.

What is chloroplasts.

100
The organelle that performs cellular respiration in ALL plant and animal cells.
What are mitochondria?
100
It converts food into energy, allowing us to think, breathe, and move. Basically, we would not be alive without it.
What is cellular respiration?
100
The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What are Chloroplasts?
200
This is where water enters the plants.
What are roots? or What is the ground?
200

The process cells use to take food energy and turn it into cellular energy (ATP).

What is Cellular Respiration?

200

What is the effect of planting more trees in an area?

Increased trees means that there is more photosynthesis occurring. More photosynthesis means there is more food for animals, which means that more animals can live.

200
Carbon Dioxide, Water
What are the inputs of photosynthesis?
300
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
What is the atmosphere?
300
Glucose and Oxygen
What are the inputs of cellular respiration?
300

The cycle that keeps the amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen fairly constant in the atmosphere

What is the cycle made by photosynthesis and cellular respiration? (Carbon Cycle)

300
Glucose and Oxygen.
What are the outputs of Photosynthesis?
400
Carbon Dioxide, Water, and ATP
What are the outputs of cellular respiration?
400

An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase the amount of this process happening.

What is photosynthesis?

400
It is not a physical input to photosynthesis, but is required for the reaction to proceed. Because of this, we write this form of energy above the arrow in the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is sunlight?
500

The energy form of the cell

What is ATP

500
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Sugar + Oxygen
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
