Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration Vocabulary Quiz

Things that go into a reaction:

• Products

• Biomolecules

• Reactants

• Enzymes

Answer explanation

Products come out of a reaction.

Biomolecules are the four molecules of life (Carbs, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, Proteins).

Reactants go into a reaction.

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions.

Chloroplast

• Organelle that does photosynthesis

• Organelle that does Cellular Respiration

• Organelle that builds protein

• Organelle that stores water in plants

Answer explanation

Chloroplasts do photosynthesis.

Mitochondria do cellular respiration.

Ribosomes build proteins.

Vacuoles store water.

Cellular respiration

• Process that makes you breathe in CO2

• Turning ATP into protein

• One cell turning into two identical cells

• Using glucose and oxygen to make ATP

Answer explanation

You breathe in O2 not CO2.

We don't turn ATP into protein.

The cell cycle and mitosis creates two identical cells.

We eat glucose and breathe oxygen to make ATP energy.

Something that has to eat another living thing to get glucose:

• Producer

• Autotroph

• Heterotroph

• Plant

Answer explanation

Producers conduct photosynthesis.

Autotrophs are producers and make their own food.

Heterotrophs have to eat to get glucose.

Plants are producers/autotrophs.

The products of photosynthesis are:

• CO2 and H2O

• the reactants of cellular respiration

• sunlight and ATP

• plants and other producers

Answer explanation

CO2 and H2O are the reactants of photosynthesis.

What comes out of photosynthesis goes into cellular respiration.

Sunlight and ATP are the types of energy in the two different reactions.

Plants are not the product of photosynthesis. Glucose is the product of photosynthesis.

Stomata

• Where water enters the plant

• Hole in the leaf that allows CO2 to leave the plant

• The part of the mitochondria that conducts the Krebs Cycle

• Hole in the leaf that allows CO2 in and O2/H2O out of the leaf

Answer explanation

Water enters the plant through the roots.

CO2 enters the leaf, it does not exit the leaf.

The mitochondria conduct cellular respiration. The stomata is related to photosynthesis.

The stomate allows gas exchange so cells can conduct photosynthesis.

C6H12O6

• The reactant of photosynthesis

• Glucose: the product of photosynthesis

• The product of cellular respiration

• Glucose: the energy made by cellular respiration

Answer explanation

The reactants of photosynthesis are CO2 and H2O.

Glucose is the product of photosynthesis.

The products of cellular respiration are ATP, H2O, and CO2.

ATP (not glucose) is the energy made by cellular respiration.

The difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration:

• Aerobic respiration only occurs in plants and anaerobic respiration occurs in heterotrophs.

• Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen.

• Aerobic respiration does not create as much ATP as anaerobic respiration.

• Aerobic respiration only complete glycolysis, while anaerobic respiration complete the electron transport chain.

Answer explanation

Aerobic respiration means with oxygen, and anaerobic means without oxygen.

Aerobic respiration creates more ATP than anaerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration goes through the electron transport chain. Aerobic respiration does not.

The equation for photosynthesis is:

• C6H12O6 + 6O2 > ATP + 6CO2 + 6H2O

• 6CO2 + 6O2 > sunlight + C6H12O6 + 6H2O

• 6H2O + 6CO2 + sunlight > C6H12O6 + 6O2

• C6H12O6 + 6CO2 + sunlight > 6H2O + 6O2

A word synonymous with a producer:

• Consumer

• Carnivore

• Heterotroph

• Autotroph

Answer explanation

Consumers are heterotrophs.

Carnivores are consumers.

Heterotrophs are the opposite of producers.

Autotrophs are producers.
