Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
What is the molecule used as energy?
A
ATP
2
Q
Where does photosynthesis occur in plants
(which organelle)?
A
Chloroplasts
3
Q
Where does cellular respiration take place in animal cells (which organelle)?
A
Mitochondria
4
Q
What are the 2 types of respiration? Which one
requires oxygen, and which doesn’t?
A
Cellular respiration = aerobic = requires O2
Fermentation = anaerobic = doesn’t require O2
5
Q
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related?
What’s the equation for either?
A
The products of one are the reactants of the other and vice versa
Photosynthesis = H2O + CO2 + energy C6H12O6 + O2
Cellular Respiration = C6H12O6 + O2 H2O + CO2 + energy
