Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration: Are They Similar?
1. The two processes have chemical formulas that are reverse of each other (write the
formula for each):
Photosynthesis:
Aerobic Respiration:
2. The two processes have reverse goals: (to make…or to break…)
Photosynthesis:
Aerobic Respiration:
3. Both processes use electron transfer chains and H+ gradients to generate ATP. Where
are the electron transfer chain enzymes located? How do the H+ move (be specific)?
Photosynthesis:
Aerobic Respiration:
4. What is the terminal electron acceptor for each electron transfer chain?
Photosynthesis:
Aerobic Respiration:
5. Both processes use redox reactions involving coenzyme molecules to pass electrons.
What are the coenzymes that are used in each process in their reduced form?
