Bio.2e: Energy Flow

Which organelle in plant cells is primarily responsible for carrying out photosynthesis?

What is the main product of cellular respiration that provides energy for cellular activities?

Which gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis?

During photosynthesis, what is the source of energy that drives the process?

Which of the following best describes the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration in terms of energy flow?

Given the equation for photosynthesis: $$6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{light energy} \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$$ , which molecule is the primary energy storage product?

Why do plants need both photosynthesis and respiration to survive?

A student sets up an experiment to measure the rate of photosynthesis in aquatic plants by counting oxygen bubbles produced under different light intensities. What is the independent variable in this experiment?

A scientist observes that when the temperature increases, the rate of cellular respiration in yeast also increases up to a certain point, then decreases. What reasoning best explains this observation?

A student claims that plants do not need to perform cellular respiration because they make their own food through photosynthesis. Use evidence to support or refute this claim.
