The Steps of Photosynthesis
3 stages of Cellular Respiration
100

What is Photosynthesis? 

The process used by plants where the energy of sunlight is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.

100
What is Cellular Respiration?
Cellular Respiration is an aerobic process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food.
100
Where do Light Dependent reactions take place?
They take place in the Thylakoids
100

What type of energy does Photosynthesis start with?

Light Energy

100

What are the first, second and third stages of Cellular Respiration?

The first stage of Cellular Respiration is Glycolysis, the second stage of Cellular Respiration is the Kreb's Cycle, which is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle, and the third cycle is the Electron Transport Chain.

200

In what cell organelle does Photosynthesis take place?

The chloroplast

200

What is the energy molecule produced in Cell Respiration called?

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

200
Where does the Calvin Cycle take place?
The Calvin Cycle takes place in the Stroma.
200

What are the 2 processes of Photosynthesis?

The Light Dependent Reactions and Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle).

200

What happens in Glycolysis?

In Glycolysis, Glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of Pyruvic Acid (Pyruvate). 

300
What 3 things affect the rate of Photosynthesis?
The 3 factors that affect the rate of Photosynthesis are the temperature, availability of water and the light intensity.
300
What occurs in Cellular Respiration if the conditions are anaerobic?
If the conditions are anaerobic then Fermentation occurs.
300
Do the Light Dependent Reactions and the Calvin Cycle both require light energy to perform? Explain.
No, only the Light Dependent Reactions require light, but the Calvin Cycle requires the products produced from the Light Dependent Reactions.
300

What occurs in Step 2 of Photosynthesis?

CO2 (and ATP and NADH from light dependent reactions) is used to produce 1 glucose molecule.

300
In what stage are the end products 32 molecules of ATP and H₂O?
The Electron Transport Chain
400

What is the name of the green pigment inside the chloroplast that absorbs sunlight? 

Chlorophyll

400
What are the 2 types of Fermentation and what do they do?
1. Alcoholic Fermentation - Yeasts use this process to form ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide as the waste products. 2. Lactic Acid Fermentation - This occurs in bacteria and muscles when your body runs out of oxygen your muscles make ATP by fermentation and glycolysis.
400

Which of these 2 processes occurs first? Calvin Cycle or Light Dependent Reactions

The Light Dependent Reactions occur first, and its products are used in the Calvin Cycle.

400

What are the start and end products of Photosynthesis?

The start products of Photosynthesis are Light energy, Carbon Dioxide and Water. The end products of Photosynthesis are Oxygen and Glucose.

400
Which 2 stages are Aerobic?
The Kreb's Cycle and Electron Transport Chain
500

What is the equation for Photosynthesis?

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

500
What is the equation for Cellular Respiration?
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy
500

What are the start and end products of the Light Dependent Reactions?

Start: H2O, light energy 

End: oxygen, and chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH that is used in the Calvin Cycle.

500

Photosynthesis converts light energy into what other type of energy?

Chemical energy

500

How is energy released from an ATP molecule?

The bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate breaks to release energy.
