PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION COMPARISON
KEY: Amoeba Sisters Video Recap: “Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration”
NOTE: This recap compares two Amoeba Sisters videos: photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
1. In photosynthesis, what are the two major
reactions that take place?
2. Where do each of these reactions take place?
Light Dependent Reaction

Calvin Cycle or Dark Reaction)
Stroma (in chloroplast)

3. In aerobic cellular respiration, what three
major steps are involved?
4. Where do each of these three major
steps take place (for eukaryotes)?
