What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
to make glucose
What molecule is split during light reactions?
H2O
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration
to make energy (ATP)
Where does glycolysis take place in the cell?
cytoplasm
Which process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
What is the main pigment that captures sunlight?
chlorophyll
What gas is used during the Calvin Cycle?
carbon dioxide
What organelle does cellular respiration take place?
Mitochondria
What gas is needed for the ETC to function?
oxygen
Which process makes glucose?
photosynthesis
What organelle does photosynthesis happen in?
chloroplast
What energy molecule is made in the light reactions?
ATP
What is the main difference between ATP and ADP?
ATP has 3 phosphates, ADP has 2 phosphates
What step comes after glycolysis in cellular respiration?
Krebs Cycle / Citric Acid Cycle
Which process/processes do plants do?
photosynthesis AND respiration
Write the full chemical equation for photosynthesis
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sunlight → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
What is made at the end of the Calvin Cycle
glucose
Write the full chemical equation for cellular respiration
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP
The passing of electrons along a series of molecules, releasing energy as they go, happens in which step?
ETC (Electron Transport Chain)
Which process increases during exercise? WHY?
respiration because you need more energy (ATP) for your muscle cells
