Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Question 1

What is the definition of Cellular Respiration?

Answer 1

Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen. Release Energy

Question 2

What is the definition of photosynthesis?

Answer 2

Process by which plants and some other organisms use sunlight to create food from carbon dioxide and water. Stores Energy

Question 3

Reactants, Products, and basic functions of photosynthesis, aerobic and anaerobic respiration

Answer 3

• Photosynthesis Equation shows that carbon dioxide and water are used with light energy to produce glucose, sugar and oxygen gas
• Aerobic respiration reactants are glucose and oxygen. Their products are carbon dioxide, water and ATP
• Anaerobic respiration reactants are glucose and electron acceptor (not oxygen). Their products are carbon dioxide, reduced species, and ATP

Question 4

How is ATP connected with energy transfers within the cell?

Answer 4

Energy is usually liberated from the ATP molecule to do work by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate oxygen groups, leaving ADP. When ATP connects to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent
