Compare Photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Ace your homework & exams now with Quizwiz!

What is the equation for Photosynthesis?

6CO2+6H2O->C6H12O6+6O2

What is ATP?

Adenosine Triphosphate - ENERGY - is required for active transport.

Where does each step take place?

Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the fluid portion of the cytoplasm of a cell.

What processes are aerobic and what processes are anaerobic? (what do those two words mean?)

Aerobic respiration, a process that uses oxygen, and anaerobic respiration, a process that doesn't use oxygen. Aerobic means "with oxygen," and anaerobic means "without oxygen."

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP energy

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration? (Know what each of the molecules stand for)

C6H12O6(glucose) + O2(oxygen) → CO2(Carbon Dioxide) + H2O(water) + ATP energy.

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP

Is it Aerobic or Anaerobic?

Fermentation is Anaerobic

Know the purpose of fermentation and why it happens.

Fermentation is a metabolic process that consumes sugar in the absence of oxygen. The products are organic acids, gases, or alcohol. It occurs in yeast and bacteria, and also in oxygen-starved muscles cells, as in the case of lactic acid fermentation.

Why is ATP important?

It is important because it transports the energy necessary for all cellular metabolic activities

What molecules are needed for cellular respiration(What are the reactants)?

Oxygen and glucose

How are they different?

Photosynthesis assembles the glucose molecule and cellular respiration takes it apart.

What will happen if there is no oxygen?

The cell would switch to anaerobic fermentation t o produce energy.

What is cellular respiration?

The series of metabolic processes by which living cells produce energy through the oxidation of organic substances.

Explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the opposite of each other.

They both consume and create the same substances but in different ways.

How are they the same?

They both produce energy

What are some similarities in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

They have the same reactions but accruing in reverse. In Photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water is yielded to glucose and oxygen. In respiration, glucose and oxygen is yielded to carbon dioxide and water.

Why do we need to breathe oxygen and how does this relate to cellular respiration?

We breathe to get oxygen to our cells so that they can use oxygen to make cellular energy (ATP). Oxygen is the accessional ingredient for making energy in the cellular respiration process.

What do NADH and FADH2 do?

the NADH and FADH2 molecules both donate electrons by providing an hydrogen molecule to the oxygen molecule to create water during the electron transport train.

Which step produces the most ATP?

the electron transport chain in the mitochondria

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

to create useable energy from glucose

What molecules does the Krebs Cycle produce?

two ATP molecules, ten NADH molecules, and two FADH2 molecules

What organelles do the two processes take place in?

water, glucose, oxygen, and carbon dioxide
