Comparing photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Where and when does photosynthesis occur? | In the chloroplasts and in the presence of sunlight. |
Where and when does cellular respiration occur? | In the mitrochondria and it happens all of the time. |
What is the input (reactants) for photosynthesis? | Carbon dioxide and water. |
What is the output (products) for photosynthesis? | Glucose and oxygen. |
What is the input (reactants) for cellular respiration? | Glucose and oxygen. |
What is the output (products) for cellular respiration? | Carbon dioxide and water. |
Which process includes an endothermic reaction? (Energy is being stored) | Photosynthesis |
Which process includes an exothermic reaction? (Energy is being released) | Cellular Respiration |
What is the function of photosynthesis? | To produce food. |
What is the function of cellular respiration? | To break down food for energy. |
What is the formula for glucose? | C6H12O6 |
What kind of energy is needed for photosynthesis? | Sunlight (Solar radiation) |
What kind of energy is produced in cellular respiration? | ATP energy. |
Who uses photosynthesis? | Plants, algae. |
Who uses cellular respiration? | Plants and animals. |
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar? | They use the same elements and molecules. They are both needed for animals and plants to stay alive. |
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different? | Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts and plants; cellular respiration occurs in mithochondria and in both plants and animals. |
Why is photosynthesis important? | Plants and animals need the food produced by photosynthesis in order to survive. |
Why is cellular respiration important? | Plants and animals need it in order to break down glucose for energy. |
Where do plants and animals store extra food? | In seeds, bulbs, and fruit in plants. In fat in humans. |
What is photosynthesis? | A process, that occurs in plants, that converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. |
What is cellular respiration? | A process, that occurs in plants and animals, that converts glucose and oxygen into into carbon dioxide and water. |
