Photosynthesis and Cellular

Respiration Webercise
Photosynthesis: https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/photosynthetic-cells-14025371
Read the article and answer the following questions. Bullet form is acceptable.

Why do most living things rely

on photosynthesis?

Where does about one third to

one half of atmospheric oxygen
on Earth come from?
Based on what you read about
chlorophyll and photosynthesis,
what colors of light should
make the cell/plant grow the
most and why?

Roughly diagram the

chloroplast and label the outer
and inner membrane, the
thylakoids, and the stroma.

In the light-dependent reactions

of photosynthesis, where does
the energy come from to
produce ATP and NADPH?
In the light-independent
reactions of photosynthesis,
where does the energy come
from to fix carbon?
Photosynthesis Interactive: http://sepuplhs.org/high/sgi/teachers/photosynthesis2_sim.html
View the photosynthesis interactive only and click on and read each of the yellow terms. Do not move on
to cellular respiration yet. Then answer the following questions. Bullet form is acceptable.
Where do the light-dependent
reactions take place in the
chloroplast?

Diagram the inputs and outputs

of the light-dependent reactions
of photosynthesis.
Where do the light-independent
reactions take place in the
chloroplast?

Diagram the inputs and outputs

of the light-independent
reactions of photosynthesis.
Where do the different inputs
come from?

Apply your knowledge of the

light-dependent and
independent reactions to
explain why plants require
water, sunlight, and carbon
dioxide to grow.
Cellular Respiration:
https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/cell-energy-and-cell-functions-14024533
Read the section of the article titled “How Do Cells Turn Nutrients into Usable Energy?” and answer the
questions below. Bullet form is acceptable.
What are good food sources for
cells and why? Use your
knowledge from the previous
lesson to explain if breaking
down food molecules is a
catabolic or anabolic process.
Diagram the inputs and outputs
of glycolysis, the first step of
cellular respiration. Specify
where glycolysis occurs in the
cell.
Where does the citric acid cycle
(also known as Krebs Cycle)
occur in the cell?
What are the two electron
carriers that are formed in the
citric acid cycle (also known as
Krebs Cycle)? What is the waste
product formed?
Where is the electron transport
chain in the cell?
During oxidative
phosphorylation, where do the
electrons from the electron
carriers go?
Where does the energy to
produce ATP during oxidative
phosphorylation come from?
Fermentation: https://www.ck12.org/biology/fermentation/lesson/Fermentation-BIO/?referrer=concept_details

Read the article and answer the questions below. Bullet form is acceptable.
Which stages of cellular
respiration are used during
anaerobic respiration?
How does anaerobic respiration
allow the cell to survive for
some time without oxygen?

Why is beer bubbly and why are

there air bubbles in bread?

Cell Energy Cycle:

https://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspView&ResourceID=455
Follow the instructions on the interactive to see how the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis and
cellular respiration are connected. Check the box that says “Show description.” Begin with the
photosynthesis tab, then do cellular respiration, and finally the cycle tab.
Create a simple diagram of the
“cell energy cycle,” clearly
indicating which processes
produce which molecules. In
your diagram, include a rough
sketch of the chloroplast and
mitochondria to show how
these molecules move through
the cell.
