Amoeba Sisters Video Recap: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Mitochondria

My main goal is to produce a lot of ATP (cell energy).

Mitochondria

Energy-producing organelle that can be found in animal cells

both mitochondria & chloroplasts

Energy-producing organelles that can be found in plant cells

Mitochondria

Muscle cells would contain a lot of me.

Mitochondria

Carbon dioxide gas production will happen within me

Chloroplast → stroma

The Calvin cycle happens within me.

Mitochondria

The Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain both happen within me.

Mitochondria (in the matrix)

Where does Krebs cycle step of cellular respiration take place?

Stroma of chloroplast

Glucose production will happen within me. (name the organelle and the specific part of that organelle)

Mitochondria

I am the site of aerobic cellular respiration.

Thylakoid membrane in the chloroplast

I contain the pigments that help capture light energy. (name the organelle and the specific part of that organelle)

Chloroplasts and mitochondria

I would be found within a photosynthetic eukaryotic protist. (chloroplasts, mitochondria, or both?)

1. Glycolysis 2. Krebs Cycle (aka Citric Acid Cycle) 3. Electron transport chain

In aerobic cellular respiration, what three major steps are involved?

Light-dependent reaction and the Calvin Cycle (aka the light-independent reaction, aka the dark reaction)

In photosynthesis, what are two major reactions that take place?

Chloroplast

Oxygen gas production will happen within me

Anaerobic respiration - aka "fermentation"

Type of respiration that does not use oxygen.

Aerobic respiration

Type of respiration that uses oxygen.

Mitochondria

Water production will happen within me.

Chloroplast → Stroma

Where does the Calvin Cycle (aka light-independent reaction, aka dark reaction) take place? (name both the organelle and the specific part of the organelle)

Mitochondria (inner membrane)

Where does the electron transport chain step of cellular respiration take place?

Cytoplasm

Where does the glycolysis step of cellular respiration take place?

Chloroplast → Thylakoid membrane

Where does the light-dependent reaction take place? (name both the organelle and the specific part of the organelle)

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ -> 6CO₂ +6H₂O +ATP (Cell Energy)

Write the formula for cellular respiration.

6CO₂ + 6H₂O (LIGHT) → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Write the formula for photosynthesis.
