Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

• To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose

• To break down glucose to release energy

• To produce carbon dioxide and water

• To absorb oxygen from the atmosphere

Where does cellular respiration occur within a cell?

• In the chloroplasts

• In the mitochondria

• In the cell nucleus

• In the cytoplasm

Which of the following equations represents photosynthesis?

• 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

• C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

• 6O2 + C6H12O6 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

• 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + energy

What are the products of cellular respiration?

• Glucose and oxygen

• Carbon dioxide and water

• Oxygen and water

• Glucose and carbon dioxide

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration interconnected?

• The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration

• They both occur in the chloroplasts

• They both produce glucose

• They both require sunlight
