Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Question 1

Features of the chloroplast

Answer 1

Outer membrane, Intermembrane space, Inner membrane, Stroma, Lamella, Granum, Thylakoid, Lumen

Question 2

Stroma

Answer 2

The aqueous solution inside the chloroplast (similar to the cytoplasm)

Question 3

Lamella

Answer 3

A thin, plate like structure that the thylakoids rest on

Question 4

Thylakoids

Answer 4

The discs that are the site of light dependent reactions. They contain chlorophyll and capture sunlight.

Question 5

Granum

Answer 5

They are stacks of thylakoids in chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll; the site of photosynthesis.

Question 6

Light dependent reaction (water splitting)

Answer 6

Step 1 in photosynthesis: Is when the chlorophyll captures light and water and uses it to create ATP & NADPH

Question 7

Light independent reaction
(carbon fixing)

Answer 7

Step 2 in photosynthesis: The ATP & NADPH from the light dependent reaction + carbon dioxide is used to create glucose

Question 8

chloroplast

Answer 8

a double membrane bound organelle that contains flattened, fluid-filled sacs that are the site of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts also contain their own DNA and ribosomes

Question 9

chlorophyll

Answer 9

Pigments that capture lights, but they do not capture green wavelengths as they reflect them.

Question 10

photosynthesis word formula

Answer 10

carbon dioxide + water = glucose and oxygen

Question 11

autotrophs

Answer 11

an organism that produces their own nutrients/food using photosynthesis

Question 12

heterotrophs

Answer 12

an organism that ingests nutrients by feeding on autotrophs or on other organisms.

Question 13

cellular respiration

Answer 13

Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body. There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport cycle

Question 14

aerobic cellular respiration chemical formula

Answer 14

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 30/32ATP

Question 15

photosynthesis chemical formula

Answer 15

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 16

aerobic respiration + word formula

Answer 16

Is to create ATP with oxygen. Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + 30 or 32 ATP

Question 17

anaerobic respiration in plants + word formula

Answer 17

Is to create ATP without oxygen. Glucose = Carbon dioxide + ethanol + 2ATP

Question 18

anaerobic respiration in animals + word formula

Answer 18

Is to create ATP without oxygen. Glucose = 2ATP + lactate (lactic acid)

Question 19

Glycolysis

Answer 19

Step 1 of aerobic cellular respiration: Occurs in the cytosol and does not require oxygen. 1 Glucose converts to 2 pyruvate.

Question 20

Krebs Cycle

Answer 20

Step 2 of aerobic cellular respiration: occurs in the mitochondrion matrix. 2 ATP molecules released after this occurs

Question 21

Electron Transport Chain

Answer 21

Step 3 of aerobic cellular respiration: occurs in the mitochondrion cristae. 26 or 28 ATP molecules are released after this occurs.

Question 22

what is photosynthesis

Answer 22

A chemical process in which solar energy is captured and transformed to chemical energy by fixing carbon to produce a carbohydrate and releasing oxygen as a by-product.
