Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcards
A process that occurs within all plant cells which supply all of the carbohydrates used by both plants and animals
Photosynthesis
This absorbs light energy from the sun
Chloroplast
The cells and tissues that support and give structure to organs, glands, and other tissues
Stroma
The starting material for the production of other food molecules
Glucose
This helps to keep a constant level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Photosynthesis
A catabolic activity that breaks down carbohydrates fats and proteins to produce energy in the form of atp
Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration consumes _____ and produces ________, and _________, as by-products
(1) Oxygen
(2) Carbon Dioxide, Water
Where do cellular respiration takes place in eukaryotic cells
Mitochondria
Where do cellular respiration takes place in prokaryotic cells like bacteria
Cell membrane because they do not contain mitochondria
It is the energy currency of the cell
Atp or adenosine triphosphate
Release of energy from organic compounds occurs in the presence of oxygen
Aerobic respiration
No oxygen present and it must occur by a fermentation process. Lactic acid is produced as by product of this process
Anaerobic respiration
