WKS: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration GRADING RUBRIC WKS: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Part 1: Label the diagram below using the following: H2O, CO2, O2, Glucose, Light-Dependent Reaction, Light-Independent Reaction, Calvin Cycle, NADP+, ADP + P, ATP, NADPH, Sunlight, grana, stroma, thylakoids CO2 water stroma sunlight NADP+ ADP + P L.I. Reaction L.D. Reaction Calvin Cycle ATP NADPH thylakoid grana C6H1206 oxygen
Questions: What are three factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis? Light Temperature Water CO2 conc.
2. How do plants store the excess energy they produce? Give examples They convert it to larger polysaccharides like starch (amylose). Many plants have specialized structures to do this like a potato.
3. Why do most plants appear green in color? Because chlorophyll does not absorb green wavelengths of light (green light is reflected)
4. Why do they sometimes say that the forests of our planet are the “lungs of earth”? They exchange gases like our lungs. Forests take CO2 out of the atmosphere and produce O2.

Complete the table below Cellular Respiration Function Convert food energy into ATP Overall Equation C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H20 Reactants C6H12O6 + 6O2 Products 6CO2 + 6H20 Location of Glycolysis Cytoplasm Location of Cellular Respiration Mitochondria Starting molecule of Glycolysis Glucose Starting molecule of Cellular Respiration Pyruvate (pyruvic acid) Number of ATP produced in Glycolysis 2 Total number of ATP produced in Glycolysis + Cellular Respiration 36
5. How are the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration dependent on each other? Equations: 6CO2 + 6H20 → C6H12O6 + 6O2 C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H20 Each makes what the other needs Order of electron transport/cycle Photosynthesis: electron transport → Calvin cycle Cellular Respiration: Krebs cycle → electron transport
6. What does the word “glycolysis” mean? Glucose breaking
7. What is the difference between an aerobic process and an anaerobic process? Aerobic: requires oxygen Anaerobic: without oxygen
8. What happens after glycolysis if oxygen is present? The products of glycolysis (pyruvic acid) continues on into the mitochondria for cellular respiration to continue making ATP
9. What happens after glycolysis if oxygen is not present? Fermentation will take place trying to make a little bit of energy in the form of ATP
10. What is the purpose of fermentation? It allows glycolysis to continue making small amounts of energy. It gets rid of molecules that build up and eventually would stop glycolysis (NADH)
11. What are the two types of fermentation and where do they occur? Lactic acid fermentation: occurs in muscle cells Alcoholic fermentation: anaerobic bacteria, yeast
12. What does ATP stand for? Adenosine triphosphate
13. What are the three basic parts of an ATP molecule? Adenine Ribose 3 phosphate groups
14. How does ATP release energy when it is needed in the cell? The third phosphate bond breaks releasing energy
15. How does ADP stand for? Adenosine diphosphate
16. How does an ADP molecule get “recharged” and turned back into an ATP molecule? From the food we eat
17. What is the most common type of carbon-based food molecules that are used to provide energy in living things? Carbohydrates (then lipids)
18. Why are proteins rarely broken down and used to produce energy in living things? Proteins are broken down into their component monomers (amino acids). These are then used to make new proteins the body needs
19. What type of organic compounds do plants store their excess energy? Starch (amylose)
20. What type of organic compounds do animals normally store their excess energy? Lipids (fat) and about 20 minutes worth of glycogen
