Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Master photosynthesis & respiration! Label diagrams, decode equations, and compare cell organelles.

Photosynthesis with the Amoeba Sisters Watch the video for a review of photosynthesis before completing the following questions. Label the diagram Using what you've learned, click on the dots and fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms.Use the words sunlight, carbon dioxide, sugar, water, oxygen. Spelling and capitalization counts! sunlight carbon dioxide oxygen sugar water Chemical Equation for Photosynthesis Chemical ReactionsClick the blanks to choose the correct word. Reactants are what go into a chemical reaction and products are what come out of a chemical reaction.The two things needed for plants to perform photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight are carbon dioxide, the gas we human exhale, and water, which the plant pulls in through its roots.When photosynthesis is complete, it gives two products: glucose, a sugar, and oxygen, which all animals (including us) need to breathe.It is important to remember that photosynthesis is a process that happens in a plant's chloroplasts, an organelle that only green plants have. And the reason plants are green is because they contain a pigment molecule called chorophyll! Cellular Respiration with the Amoeba Sisters Watch the video for a review of cellular respiration before completing the following questions. Label the diagram Using what you've learned, click on the dots and fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms.Use the words ATP, carbon dioxide, glucose, water, oxygen. Spelling and capitalization counts! glucose oxygen ATP carbon dioxide water Chemical Equation for Cellular Respiration Click the blanks to reveal a word bank. Remember, both plants (producers) and animals (consumers) carry out the process of cellular respiration!The two things needed for organisms to perform cellular respiration are glucose, the six-carbon sugar plants make in photosynthesis, and oxygen, which all living things need to breathe.When cellular respiration is complete, it gives three products: carbon dioxide(the waste gas animals exhale), water (usually in liquid form), and ATP (the energy molecule).It is important to remember that cellular respiration is a process that happens in the mitochondria, an organelle that both plants and animals have. Compare photosynthesis and cellular respiration Sort the options by whether they describe photosynthesis or cellular respiration. Photosynthesis (6) Occurs in the chloroplast Reactants = Carbon Dioxide and Water Products = Glucose and Oxygen Makes food for plant cells Uses energy from the sun Occurs in plants only Cellular Respiration (6) Occurs in the Mitochondria Occurs in both plants and animals Reactants = Glucose and Oxygen Products = Carbon Dioxide and Water Produces ATP Is an aerobic process Compare mitochondria and chloroplasts Sort the options by whether they describe mitochondria or chloroplasts. Mitochondria (4) Found in both plants and animals Carries out cellular respiration Takes in oxygen and glucose and produces carbon dioxide and water Makes energy in the form of ATP Chloroplast (4) Found in plants but NOT animals Carries out photosynthesis Makes plants green Takes in carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration act as a cycle. Use this information to label the picture and complete the sentence below. What organelle is represented by A? ChloroplastWhat process is represented by B? PhotosynthesisWhat product is represented by C? ATPWhat organelle is represented by D? MitochondriaWhat process is represented by E? Cellular RespirationCellular respiration and photosynthesis are considered a cycle because the products of one reaction serve as the reactants for the other reaction.
