Task
As you click on the links below, answer the following questions about photosynthesis and cellular
respiration. These are the basic notes you will need to complete the assignment.
In what organelle does the process of Photosynthesis occur? Draw a diagram of the organelle
In what organelle does the process of Respiration occur? Draw a diagram of the organelle
Compare and contrast both structures and their function. In what ways are they the same? In what ways are they
different?
In what type of cells do the above processes take place?
How do plants and animals obtain energy?
Why are animal cells not capable of carrying out Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis and Respiration can be summarized into equations. Write the equations and how do they relate
to one another.
Identify the parts of the plant involved in Photosynthesis.
Distinguish between the light and dark reactions of Photosynthesis.
Explain what ATP is, how it is formed, and what is its role in Photosynthesis and Respiration.
How are glycolysis and the citric acid cycle used in Respiration? Are they used equally in anaerobic and
aerobic respiration? Why or Why not?
What are the 2 main types of anaerobic respiration?
