Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Question 1

Photosynthesis

Answer 1

A series of chemical reactions that convert light energy, water and carbon dioxide into the food-energy molecule glucose and give off oxygen

Question 2

Eco System

Answer 2

All the living things and nonliving things in a given area.

Question 3

Cellular Respiration

Answer 3

A series of chemical reactions that convert the energy in food molecules into a usable form of energy called ATP

Question 4

Glycolysis

Answer 4

A process by which glucose, a sugar, is broken down into smaller molecules.

Question 5

What’s the equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 5

Carbon Dioxide + water, using light energy = Glucose + Oxygen (6CO2 + 6H2O using light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2)

Question 6

What’s the equation for cellular respiration?

Answer 6

Glucose + Oxygen, using light energy = Carbon dioxide + water + ATP (C6H1206 + 6O2, using light energy = 6CO2 + 6H20 + [ATP])

Question 7

What are the stages of cellular respiration

Answer 7

Step 1: Glycolysis; this takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Step 2: This takes place in the mitochondria of the cell and uses the products of glycolysis.

Question 8

What is ATP

Answer 8

ATP is an energy storage molecule that our cells can use to power cellular processes.

Question 9

What is the difference between plant cells and animal cells

Answer 9

Plant cells carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Animals cells only carry out cellular respiration.
