Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? | 6CO2 + 6H2O +(uses sunlight)→ C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| What is CO2? | carbon dioxide |
| What is H2O? | water |
| What is C6H12O6? | glucose (carbohydrates) |
| What is O2? | oxygen |
| What makes up carbohydrates? | monosaccharides |
| What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration? | C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy |
| What is ATP? | adenine triphosphate (energy) |
| How does ATP get used in the body? | It releases energy by breaking a bond to remove one phosphate and form ADP |
| What is a reactant? | a molecule that reacts in a chemical equation |
| What is a product? | a molecule being produced in a chemical equation |
| What are the reactants in photosynthesis? | carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight/light energy |
| What are the reactants in cellular respiration? | glucose/carbohydrates(C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) |
| What are the products in photosynthesis? | glucose/carbohydrates(C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) |
| What are the products in cellular respiration? | carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy (ATP) |
| Where does photosynthesis occur? | Chloroplasts in the leaves |
| Where does aerobic cellular respiration occur? | mitochondria |
| Where does anaerobic cellular respiration occur? | cytoplasm |
| What is fermentation? | the breakdown of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in the absence of oxygen |
| What does aerobic mean? | in the presence of oxygen |
| What does anaerobic mean? | in the absence of oxygen |
| Would there be more oxygen or carbon dioxide produced from a plant in the sunlight? | oxygen |
| Would there be more oxygen or carbon dioxide produced from a plant in the dark? | carbon dioxide (can't go through photosynthesis because no light energy) |
