Photosynthesis and Respiration Model

Vocabulary flashcards reviewing the organelles, reactants, products, and chemical equations involved in the interdependence of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

where does Cellular Resperation take place?

The Stroma

Chloroplast

The cell organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.

What are the stages of cellular resperation?

1. Glycolisis 2. krebs Cycle 3. Electron transport chain.

Photosynthesis (chemical equation)

The cellular process represented by $6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{energy} \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$.

Respiration (chemical equation)

The cellular process represented by $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{energy}$.

inputs/reactants of Photosynthesis

The three components needed for photosynthesis: $6CO_2$, $6H_2O$, and sunlight (energy).

Products of Photosynthesis

The two substances produced during photosynthesis: glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($6O_2$).

Inputs/Reactants of Cellular Respiration

The two substances needed for cellular respiration: glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($6O_2$).

Products of Cellular Respiration

The three outputs produced by cellular respiration: carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), water ($H_2O$), and energy ($\text{ATP}$).
