Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Practice Review

Front

Where do the light reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

In the thylakoid membrane.

Front

Where do the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis take place?

Back

In the stroma.

Front

What gas is released during the Krebs cycle?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

Front

What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?

Back

To produce electron donators.

Front

What is chemiosmosis?

Back

A process where ATP is synthesized when H+ ions move through a channel in ATP synthase.

Front

How is cellular respiration related to photosynthesis?

Back

Respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light reactions and dark reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What is produced during the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the primary function of the mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

To produce ATP through the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.
