Photosynthesis and Cellular Respriation

Define Cellular Respiration

It is defined as the process that releases energy (ATP) by breaking down glucose. (converts food molecules (glucose) into a form usable (ATP) by the organism) in the presence of oxygen

What does ATP stand for and what is it?

It stands for Adenosine triphosphate. Energy.

Mitochondria

Organelle found in all organisms that is the site of (aerobic) cellular respiration

Cellular Respiration Chemical Equation

C6H12O2 + 6O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H20 + Energy (ATP)

The entire chemical formula for photosynthesis

Light Energy (sunlight) 6H20 + 6CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Location of Photosynthesis

Location is Chloroplast

Reactants of Photosynthesis

Reactants are Sunlight (light) Water and Carbon Dioxide

Products of Photosynthesis

Products are Glucose and Oxygen

Products of Cellular Respiration

Products are Carbon Dioxide and Water and ATP Energy

Identify all of the organisms that depend on photosynthesis for survival

Every living organism, in some manner

How does photosynthesis help humans survive?

Helps humans by giving us oxygen so we can breathe, and glucose which is broken down for energy

What would happen if photosynthesis did not occur on earth?

Every plant, and animal would become extinct, and our earth would be practically deserted.

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Reactants are Glucose and oxygen

What gas is a reactant of photosynthesis?

Gas reactant is Oxygen

What is the main energy source that is a reactant of photosynthesis?

Main energy source is Sunlight/light

What are the products of photosynthesis?

the products are Glucose & Oxygen

Which organisms depend on the process of cellular respiration for survival?

All organisms that break down glucose for food; including plants and animals.

Identify the purpose for cellular respiration?

Purpose is glucose must be broken down into usable (ATP)energy.

What is true for both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Both are required, for a cell to produce ATP and for an organisms to survive

How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis interdependent (depend on one another)

They are interdependent because cellular respiration uses the glucose from photosynthesis to create ATP in the mitochondria
