Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Question 1

What is Photosynthesis and what does it do?

Answer 1

• Photosynthesis is preformed by plants

- Traps and collect solar energy converting it to chemical energy and storing it as glucose

Question 2

In Photosynthesis, energy conversion occurs in..

Answer 2

the Chloroplast

Question 3

Photosynthesis is an _____bolic pathway

Answer 3

Anabolic Pathway

Question 4

What is Cellular Respiration and what does it do?

Answer 4

• Cellular Respiration is performed by animals

- Traps and breaks down chemical energy from the stored bonds of glucose into ATP (usable energy)

Question 5

In Cellular Respiration, energy conversation occurs in..

Answer 5

The Mitochondria

Question 6

Cellular Respiration is an ____bolic pathway

Answer 6

Catabolic Pathway

Question 7

What does the Anabolic pathway do?

Answer 7

Creates Large molecules from smaller ones

Question 8

Anabolic pathways _____ energy

Answer 8

Require energy. Require energy to form large molecules due to this, it is ENDOTHERMIC

Question 9

Anabolic pathway is _____thermic

Answer 9

ENDOTHERMIC

Question 10

Photosynthesis is Anabolic because..

Answer 10

It conducts glucose from particles obtained from the suns energy

Question 11

What does Catabolic pathways do?

Answer 11

Breaks down large molecules into small ones

Question 12

Catabolic pathway ____ energy

Answer 12

Releases energy. Releases energy to break down large particles due to this, it is EXOTHERMIC. Energy EXITS - EXOTHERMIC

Question 13

Catabolic pathway is _____thermic

Answer 13

EXOTHERMIC

Question 14

Cellular Respiration is Catabolic because..

Answer 14

Breaks down into ATP

Question 15

List all the following sub-structures of the Chloroplast.

Answer 15

Thylakoids, Grana and Stroma

Question 16

Thylakoids are in the Chloroplast, what are they and its function?

Answer 16

Thylakoids are Flatten sacs containing Chlorophyll.

A green coloured molecule responsible for TRAPPING solar energy.

Question 17

What is a Grana in a Chloroplast?

Answer 17

Grana are multiple Thylakoid sacs stacked on top of each other. They are connected by a LAMELLAE.

Question 18

What is a Stroma in a Chloroplast and its function?

Answer 18

Stroma is the inner fluid in a Chloroplast. They contain mixtures of protein and other chemicals used in the making of glucose.

Question 19

List all the following sub-structures of the Mitochondria.

Answer 19

Matrix and Cristae.

Question 20

What is a Matrix in the Mitochondria and what is its function?

Answer 20

Matrix is the fluid in the mitochondria. It contains proteins and other chemicals needed to break down glucose into ATP.

Question 21

What is a Cristae in the Mitochondria and what is its function?

Answer 21

Cristae’s are folds of the inner membrane in the Mitochondria. They increase surface area for ATP production.
