Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Question 1

The chemical equation of photosynthesis

Answer 1

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Question 2

chemical equation of cellular respiration

Answer 2

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 –> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP

Question 3

what organelle does photosynthesis use?

Answer 3

chloroplasts

Question 4

what organelle does cellular respiration use?

Answer 4

mitochondria

Question 5

Relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Answer 5

they need each other for all organisms to keep living - keeps everything alive

Question 6

how is photosynthesis significant to all living things?

Answer 6

It is the source of energy and food for all organisms. It releases oxygen into the environment which is utilised by organisms.

Question 7

what is the difference between chlorophyll and chloroplasts

Answer 7

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells, and they contain chlorophyll

Question 8

why do plants appear green

Answer 8

Chlorophyll, the primary facilitator of photosynthesis, absorbs blue and red light and reflects green light

Question 9

what do you call organisms that can do photosynthesis

Answer 9

autotrophes

Question 10

what is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Answer 10

provides cells with the energy they need to function.

Question 11

chemical energy is transported from _____________ to _____________ during cellular respiration

Answer 11

the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP

Question 12

what does ATP stand for

Answer 12

Adenosine triphosphate

Question 13

What does ADP stand for

Answer 13

Adenosine diphosphate

Question 14

define aerobic respiration

Answer 14

the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food.
uses oxygen

Question 15

define anaerobic respiration

Answer 15

does not use oxygen to produce energy

Question 16

what is lactic acid fermentation

Answer 16

a type of anaerobic respiration (or fermentation) that breaks down sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP

Question 17

what is alcoholic fermentation?

Answer 17

a biological process by which sugar is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Yeasts are responsible for this process, and oxygen is not necessary, which means that alcoholic fermentation is an anaerobic process.
