1) Which stages of cellular respiration are aerobic? Which ones are anaerobic?
2) What are two advantages of glycolysis over the Krebs cycle?
3) What does it mean that there is an investment of energy in glycolysis?
4) Glycolysis breaks down a glucose molecule into what other molecule?
5) What is the net amount of ATP produced in cellular respiration?
Complete the following concept diagram. Then, color these in different colors: carbon molecules,
electron carriers, processes, ATP.

* What important molecule is

missing from this diagram? Add
it to the diagram in the correct
place. Why is this molecule so
important to the process of
cellular respiration? (Hint: think
about the energy difference of
electrons at the beginning of the
ETC and at the end.)

CO2

Compare Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Occurs only in plants

6 H2O + 6 CO2 -- sunlight- C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Starts in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Ends in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Consists of 2 stages: Light-dependent and Lightindependent.

NADPH transfers high energy electrons from the

light-dependent reaction in the thylakoid to the
Calvin Cycle.

Sunlight energy is captured in the chemical

bonds of glucose.

In complete sentences, describe the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration and why
this relationship is important. How are the processes similar? How are they different?
