Photosynthesis and cellular respiration- who, what, why, how, where when
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is photosynthesis? | Photosynthesis produces the glucose and oxygen we need to survive. |
| Inputs for photosynthesis | Carbon dioxide (CO2) Water (H2O) Sunlight |
| Products of photosynthesis | Glucose (C6H12O6) Oxygen (O2) |
| Formula for photosynthesis | 6CO2+6H2O-->C6H12O6+6O2 |
| Why does photosynthesis occur? | Photosynthesis produces the glucose that is used as food and the oxygen we need for cellular respiration. Without photosynthesis, no living creature could survive. |
| What creatures do photosynthesis? | All plants, NOT animals. |
| Chlorophyll | The chemical that makes the plants green. The chlorophyll is WHERE PHOTOSYNTHESIS OCCURS. The chlorophyll is in the chloroplasts, which are a part of the plants' cells. |
| When does photosynthesis occur? | In the presence of light |
| What is cellular respiration? | Cellular respiration breaks down glucose for use as energy in the cell |
| Inputs for cellular respiration | Glucose (C6H12O6) Oxygen (O2) |
| Products of cellular respiration | ATP Energy Water (H2O) Carbon dioxide (CO2) |
| Formula for cellular respiration | C6H12O6+6O2-->6CO2+6H20+ATP ENERGY |
| Why does cellular respiration occur? | Cellular respiration occurs to give cells energy to stay alive |
| What creatures do cellular respiration? | All living creatures, including plants and animals. |
| Mitochondria | A part of a cell. Where cellular respiration occurs. |
| When does cellular respiration occur? | Cellular respiration occurs all day, every day. |

| Stomata | The tiny holes in the plant that carbon dioxide enters through during photosynthesis. Stomata is for gas. |
| How does sunlight enter a plant? | Through the surface of the plant. |
| How does water enter the plant? | Through the roots. |
