Bioenergetics: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration |
Essential questions:
How is ATP used in both Cellular Respiration? What is the main energy used in Photosynthesis What are the reactants and products of Photosynthesis? What is the use of light in Photosynthesis? Objective:
|
Key Terms:
ATP - a molecule that carries energy within cells Chlorophyll -absorbs light energy used for the chemical reactions of photosynthesis. Products- Material formed by chemical reactions. Reactants -Starting substances for chemical reactions. Oxygen -produced during photosynthesis used to reduce glucose. Carbon Dioxide - product of cell respiration used to produce glucose Water -basis of the fluids of living organisms. |
Summary:
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration can be types of bioenergetic, they are close, similar, almost like friends. Photosynthesis is a process of transforming light energy into chemical energy, the photosynthetic organisms, which are things that can produce photosynthesis, plants and bacteria. Those things use energy in sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, there are reactants and products, the reacts are what goes through a change within a reaction, while products are substances which are produced by a reaction from the reactants. In photosynthesis the reactants are light energy, water, and carbon dioxide, the products are glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis takes place in the Chloroplasts, it is important to know the Chloroplasts’ structure, it has an outer membrane, inner membrane, thylakoid, and stroma. Photosynthesis is important because it is how all living things take in oxygen to survive, this is for plants and also humans. The glucose that is produced in the plants is what they use to eat, it allows them to grow and later reproduce. Cellular respiration is a metabolic reaction that turns the sugar glucose into ATP. Just like photosynthesis, cellular respiration has reactants and products, oxygen and glucose are the reactants in the process of cellular respiration and the products are carbon dioxide,water, and ATP. The process of cellular respiration starts by taking energy from glucose from all living things to produce ATP. It has 3 stages, the first stage breaks down the organic molecules, this stage is called glycolysis which is found in the cytoplasm. The second stage is reactions take in energy and releases it, turning ATP into ADP, this stage is called Krebs Cycle it is in the Mitochondrial Matrix. The final stage is a process of which takes ATP and transfers it into the inner membrane of the mitochondrion, it gathers reactions of five protein structures that also go into the inner membrane, this stage is called Electron Transport Chain.

Open- Ended Questions
- Explain why the pigment(Chlorophyll) makes plants green
- Using the diagram in the lower half, explain how the structure cellular respiration adds to photosynthesis
Even though Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are different in many ways, they are based off each other, they depend on each other to keep their cycles going. In the diagram to the left it will show how both processes work and at points in there process they begin to depend on one another.
