Photosynthesis
Basics
Basics
What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
To convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose)
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?
To produce ATP (energy)
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ is the equation for which process
Photosynthesis
What is the first step of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis
Which stage requires light energy?
Light dependent reaction
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide and water
What are the reactants of cellular respiration?
Glucose and oxygen
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP is the equation for what process?
Cellular respiration
Glycolysis occurs in which part of the cell?
Cytoplasm
Which stage makes glucose?
Calvin Cycle (light-independent reaction)
What is main product made in photosynthesis
Glucose
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water
In photosynthesis, this energy source is required
Light (solar energy)
This cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix
Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle
Light-dependent reactions occur in this structure
Thylakoid membrane (grana)
What type of reaction is photosynthesis? (Exothermic or endothermic)
Endothermic
What type of reaction is cellular respiration? (Exothermic or endothermic)
Exothermic
In cellular respiration, this molecule is broken down for energy
Glucose
This step produces the most ATP
Electron Transport Chain
The Calvin Cycle occurs in this part of the chloroplast
Stroma
In what organelle is where photosynthesis occurs?
Chloroplast
In what organelle is where cellular respiration occurs?
Mitochondria
Why are photosynthesis and cellular respiration considered opposite equations?
Because the reactants of one are the products of the other
or one makes glucose, the other breaks down glucose
This process happens when oxygen is NOT present
Fermentation (anaerobic respiration)
This molecule is split during the light-dependent reaction
Water
