Photosynthesis
What is the primary pigment in plant cells that captures light energy for photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
What is the primary molecule that cells use as a source of energy for cellular respiration
Glucose (C6H12O6)
Name one molecule that is both produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.
Oxygen (O2)
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: Aerobic or Anaerobic?
Anaerobic respiration
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 product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen (O2)
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.
How do the locations of photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ within a cell?
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, while cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.
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 is the first step of cellular respiration called?
Glycolysis
How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration contribute to the energy flow within ecosystems?
Photosynthesis captures and stores solar energy in glucose, and cellular respiration releases this stored 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 molecules/compounds are released during Alcoholic fermentation after the yeast is added the glucose?
Carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol
In which organelle does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?
Chloroplasts
In which organelle does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
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 is the formula for Photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H20 + Light energy >> C6H12O6 + O2
How do you accrue an oxygen debt?
Extra Points(200): How do you pay back the oxygen debt? Describe the process.
Using lactic acid fermentation to finish up a 100m sprint or workout.
That is the huffing and puffing you feel after lactic acid is being released and oxygen is coming back into the body
Name one factor that affects the rate of photosynthesis
Light intensity, temperature, carbon dioxide concentration
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.
What is the formula for Lactic Acid?
Pyruvic Acid + NADH >> Lactic Acid + NAD+
Give me three differences between lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation?
- lactic acid is reversible, alcoholic is irreversible
- the products are different for each process
- lactic acid affects humans and animals, alcoholic affects food or plants
