Exploring the Connection Between Photosynthesis and Cellular Res

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

• Cellular respiration purpose is to convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP).

• To produce carbon dioxide and water

• To synthesize proteins from amino acids

• To store energy in the form of glucose

How do YOU depend on photosynthesis?

• For the production of carbon dioxide

• For glucose and oxygen

• For the absorption of nutrients

• For the generation of heat

In which part of the plant does the most photosynthesis happen?

• Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of plants.

• Stems

• Leaves

• Flowers

What is another word that means “producer”?

• Autotroph is another word that means “producer”.

• Heterotroph

• Decomposer

• Consumer

What are the products of cellular respiration?

• The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide CO₂ and water H₂0.

• Carbon dioxide CO₂ and water H₂0

• Nitrogen and ammonia

• Lactic acid and ethanol

What is photosynthesis?

• Photosynthesis is the process by producers of convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

• A method used by animals to produce energy from food.

• The way in which fungi decompose organic matter to release energy.

• A technique for capturing solar energy without any chemical transformation.

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

• All living organisms perform cellular respiration all the time 24/7.

• Only microorganisms

• All living organisms perform cellular respiration all the time 24/7.

• Only fungi and bacteria

What are the reactants needed for photosynthesis to happen?

• The reactants of photosynthesis are glucose C₆H₁₂O₆ and oxygen O₂.

• Carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O

• Nitrogen N2 and hydrogen H2

• Sulfur dioxide SO2 and glucose C6H12O6

What is the job of chlorophyll?

• 1. The job of chlorophyll is to absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy (glucose C₆H₁₂O₆).

• To release oxygen during photosynthesis.

• To store energy in the form of starch.

• To transport nutrients throughout the plant.

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

• All living organisms perform cellular respiration.

• Only animals

• All living organisms

• Only fungi
