Biology - Unit 5
Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Describe the first step of photosynthesis | Light reactions occur and solar energy is converted to chemical energy |
| Describe the second step of photosynthesis | Dark reactions occur and chemical energy is stored in sugars |
| How do the fixations in each photosynthesis step differ | Light reactions have an energy fixation and dark reactions have a carbon fixation |
| Describe the role of light and chlorophyll in photosynthesis | Chlorophyll absorbs light, which helps provide ATP and NADPH energy needed to make glucose |
| Write the overall equation for photosynthesis | Describe the first step of aerobic cellular respiration |
| Describe the second step of aerobic cellular respiration | The krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria and breaks apart pyruvic acid |
| Describe the third step of aerobic cellular respiration | The electron transport chain occurs in the mitochondrial membrane and uses oxygen |
| How many net ATPs are produced in each step of aerobic cellular respiration | 2 in the first, 4 in the second, 30 in the third |
| Name two similarities between photosynthesis and respiration | Both occur in the cell |
| Both involve an electron transport chain | |
| Name two differences between photosynthesis and respiration | Photosynthesis creates glucose from carbon dioxide and water, but cellular respiration breaks down glucose into carbon dioxide and water |
| Photosynthesis stores energy, but cellular respiration releases energy | |
| What organisms go through anaerobic cellular respiration; give two reasons why | Archaea, bacteria, and prokaryotes go through cellular respiration because the oxygen supply is limited during aerobic respiration |
| Energy is converted quicker during anaerobic cellular respiration | |
| How do alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation differ | Alcohol fermentation occurs in plants and yeast, but lactic acid fermentation occurs in animals and produces muscle cramps |
| Write the overall equation for cellular respiration |
