Bioenergetics: Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis provides the materials (glucose and oxygen) that fuel cellular respiration.

Front

Which student correctly classified the energy conversions in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Student 4.

Front

What role do ATP molecules play in protein synthesis?

Back

ATP molecules provide energy for the protein synthesis process.

Front

What is one similarity and one difference between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Back

Similarity: Both involve water. Difference: Cellular respiration uses sugar, while photosynthesis produces sugar.

Front

What is the primary role of ATP in living systems?

Back

ATP captures and transfers energy released by the breakdown of glucose.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the main reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

How does light energy affect photosynthesis?

Back

Light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
