Photosynthesis and Respiration
1. What is the overall reaction (formula) for photosynthesis?
2. How does this compare to the overall reaction for cellular respiration?
3. Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from?
4. What plant pigments are involved in photosynthesis?
5. Explain why chlorophyll appears green to us in terms of what happens to different wavelengths of light
that strike a chlorophyll molecule.
6. In what organelle of a plant cell does photosynthesis take place?
7. What is photosynthesis waste product?
8. What is the overall reaction (formula) for cell respiration?
9. In what organelle of a cell does cell respiration take place?
10. What is cell respirations wastes product?
11. The purpose of cellular respiration is to ________________________ the energy
from carbohydrates (glucose) and other organic molecules stored during photosynthesis.
12. Write the formula that shows the release of energy by the mitochondria.
After it is labeled, the diagram below will illustrate photosynthesis. Write each of the following terms
on the correct numbered line. Then answer the questions that follow.
