Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration SMA

Which color of light would most likely produce the lowest rate of photosynthesis?

• red

• blue

• white

• green

Answer explanation

Green light is reflected; therefore, since it is not absorbed by the chlorophyll - it cannot assist in photosynthesis.

Which distinguishes anaerobic respiration from aerobic respiration?

• Anaerobic respiration requires oxygen, while aerobic respiration requires carbon dioxide.

• Anaerobic respiration produces little ATP, while aerobic respiration produces large quantities of ATP.

• Anaerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria, while aerobic respiration occurs in the chloroplasts.

• Anaerobic respiration releases large amounts of carbon dioxide, while aerobic respiration releases large amounts of oxygen.

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ?

• Photosynthesis uses food and cellular respiration produces food.
