Comparing Photosynthesis and Respiration

In what cell organelle does photosynthesis occur?

• Mitochondrion

• Chloroplast

• Lysosome

• Nucleus

In what cell organelle does Cellular Respiration occur?

• Mitochondrion

• Chloroplast

• Lysosome

• Endoplasmic reticulum

Choose the three reactants needed for photosynthesis.

• Carbon dioxide

• Water

• Energy

• Glucose

Choose the two products of photosynthesis.

• glucose

• carbon dioxide

• energy

• oxygen

What are the two reactants for cellular respiration?

• glucose

• carbon dioxide

• oxygen

• water

What are the three products of cellular respiration?

• carbon dioxide

• water

• energy

• sunlight

What relationship do you notice about cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

• They are the same processes.

• The products of one process are the reactants of the other process.

• They are unrelated because they involve completely different molecules.

• They only occur in certain types of plants.

Mitochondria, and therefore the true cellular respiration process, is found in

• eukaryotes, including plants, animals, protists, and fungus

• prokaryotes, including bacteria

• only plant cells

• only animal cells

Photosynthesis is performed by

• plants and certain types of protists

• animals only

• plants and animals

• fungus

True or False. Plants use the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in their cells.

• True

• False
