Photosynthesis Basics
What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
To make glucose (food) using sunlight
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?
To make ATP (energy)
Where does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplast
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
CO₂ + H₂O + sunlight
Which process occurs in plants only?
Photosynthesis
What gas do plants take in for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
What gas is needed for cellular respiration?
Oxygen (O₂)
Where does cellular respiration occur?
Mitochondria
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Glucose + O₂
Which process occurs in both plants and animals?
Cellular respiration
What pigment absorbs sunlight in plants?

Where do light-dependent reactions occur?
Thylakoid membrane
What are the products of cellular respiration?
CO₂ + H₂O + ATP
Which process produces carbon dioxide?
Cellular respiration
What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?
Light-dependent reactions & Calvin cycle
What are the 3 stages of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
Where does the Calvin cycle occur?
Stroma
Which process stores energy and which releases it?
Photosynthesis stores, respiration releases
How are photosynthesis and respiration related?
Products of one are reactants of the other
