Connecting Cellular Respiration andPHOTOSYNTHESIS Photosynthesis AMOEBA SISTERS: AND CELLULAR VIDEO RECAP RESPIRATION COMPARISON Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected through an important relationship. This relationship enables life to survive as we know it. Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast in plants. Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP (energy). Animals, on the other hand, eat food such as plants to get/make glucose. Cellular respiration uses glucose to make energy and this takes place within the mitochondria of both organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is used for activities the organisms want to do. For the following formulas, (1) determine whether the formula is photosynthesis or cellular respiration and move the illustrations found below into the box underneath the appropriate molecular formula for each reactant (on the left of the arrow) or product (on the right of the arrow). This Formula is for: _________photosynthesis_______________________ This Formula is for: ________cellular respiration________________________ The products of one process are the reactants of the other. Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis. Fill in the table below based on the boxes.

Decide whether each quote could be stated by a chloroplast, mitochondria, or both organelles. Move emoji to the organelle it will be found or its job. Use the photo below to help you explain the relationship between and cellular respiration. photosynthesis What is needed for photosynthesis to occur? Be specific. What is glucose? What is needed for cellular respiration to occur? What is ATP? How are the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration related? How do they work together?
