Sort Activity  Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration
Directions: Cut out the squares and unscramble the puzzle!! Place the 4 titles with the correct descriptions.
Note  each of the 4 columns should have a-f including the correct pictures.
1. Photosynthesis
2. Cellular Respiration
4. Link Between
Photosynthesis & Cellular
Respiration
3. Fermentation
a. Captures energy from sun to
make food (glucose)
b. Alcoholic Fermentation: occurs in
single-celled organisms and produces
alcohol and CO2 as products.
c. Leaves are green because they
have a pigment called
chlorophyll.
a. Both equations are opposites of
each other
b. The products of photosynthesis
are the reactants of cellular
respiration.
c. Autotrophs and heterotrophs
can perform cellular respiration
a. A process where cells break
down food molecules (sugar) and
release the energy they contain
b. It occurs in leaves (in an
organelle called chloroplasts)
a. It’s a way for cells to obtain
energy from sugar in the absence
of oxygen. There are 2 kinds.
e. The reactants of photosynthesis
are H2O and CO2. The products
are oxygen, ATP, & glucose
(C6H12O6)
b. Cellular respiration has two
stages. It starts in the cytoplasm
and initially does not require
oxygen.
e. Products of cellular respiration
include ATP, H2O and CO2
Reactants of cell respiration are
glucose and oxygen.
c. Lactic Acid Fermentation:
occurs in muscles when there is not
enough oxygen to perform an
activity
c. 1st stage of cellular respiration:
Breaks down sugar.
Takes place in the cytoplasm.
e. Wine
f. “The Mighty Mitochondria”
d. 2nd stage: Releases large
amounts of ATP (energy).
Takes place in the mitochondria.
Requires oxygen!!
d. Fermentation takes place in the
cytoplasm of the cell. It only
happens in the absence of
oxygen.
d. Only autotrophs can perform
photosynthesis. Both autotrophs
and heterotrophs can perform
cellular respiration
d. Autotrophs are organisms that
can perform photosynthesis
f. Tired muscle
f.
e. “Opposite of each other”
f. “Linking photosynthesis to
cellular respiration”
