Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Question 1

photosynthesis

Answer 1

6CO2 + 6H20 —– (light chlorophyll)—- C6H1206 + 602

carbon dioxide + water —-(light chlorophyll)—- glucos + oxygen

Question 2

helps absorb energy from the light

Answer 2

chlorophyll

Question 3

carbon fixation and reduction of RuBP by CO2 converts it into G3P which can be further processed into glucose

Answer 3

calvin cycle

Question 4

cellular respiration

Answer 4

glycolysis

pyruvate oxidation

Question 5

breakdown of glucose and investment of 2 ATP to produce pyruvate, 4 ATP, and 2 NADH

Answer 5

glycolysis

Question 6

pyruvate is oxidized into acetyl CoA, producing CO2 and transforming NAD2+ into NADH in the process

Answer 6

pyruvate oxidation

Question 7

energy into cellular energy

oxygen is needed in the process

Answer 7

aerobic respiration

Question 8

occurs when a cell obtains energy from the breakdown of food molecules in the absence of oxygen

when the breakdown of glucose ins incomplete, lactic acid or alcohol is formed and less energy is released

Answer 8

anaerobic respiration
