SC.912.L.18.9 Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

    • You need to know how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are
      related (that the products of one are the reactants of the other).
    • You need to know the reactants, products and basic functions of
      photosynthesis, aerobic, and anaerobic respiration.
    • You need to understand how ATP is connected with energy
      transfers within the cell.
    • You need to know that photosynthesis stores energy while cellular
      respiration releases energy.

EXAMPLE ONE

  • The diagram below shows the relationship between photosynthesis and
    cellular respiration and the organelles in which they occur.

    photosynthesis and cellular respiration

    Which statement describes how photosynthesis and cellular respiration
    are interrelated?

    A. Oxygen is produced during cellular respiration and stored during
    photosynthesis.

    B. Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are
    used in photosynthesis.

    C. Photosynthesis releases the energy that is stored during the
    process of cellular respiration.

    D. Glucose is used during cellular respiration to produce food that
    is broken down during photosynthesis.

EXAMPLE TWO

  • Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

    A. hydrogen

    B. oxygen

    C. nitrogen

    D. carbon dioxide

EXAMPLE THREE

  • A weightlifter is using heavy weights in short bursts for a competition.
    Because his muscle cells are not able to take in enough oxygen to make
    very much ATP the weightlifter begins to get fatigue in his muscles.
    Which of the following processes is most likely going on in the muscles
    of the weightlifter as he competes in his event? 

    A. As the cells run out of oxygen they switch to anaerobic
    respiration, which allows the cell to make small amounts of ATP in
    the absence of oxygen. 

    B. As the cells run out of oxygen, they die off gradually and the
    weightlifter's muscles have fewer contracting muscle cells.

    C. The cells will never run out of oxygen if the weightlifter is
    breathing.

    D. As the cells run out of oxygen, they will continue to make the
    same amount of ATP, since oxygen is not required to make ATP. 

EXAMPLE FOUR

  • What function does ATP carry out in living things?

    A. aids in protein folding and coiling

    B. used to capture and transfer energy

    C. identifies DNA start sequences for transcription

    D. helps maintain the fluidity of cell membranes

EXAMPLE FIVE

  • How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related, in terms of
    energy?

    A. The energy captured in photosynthesis is used to power cellular
    respiration.

    B. The energy transformed in cellular respiration is used to power
    photosynthesis.

    C. Photosynthesis and respiration perform the same task in terms
    of energy transformation.

    D. Energy is not involved in either photosynthesis or cellular
    respiration.

EXAMPLE SIX

  • Two different species of bacteria are examined. Scientists find that
    species X always produces COand H2O during cellular respiration.
    Species Y always produces ethyl alcohol and CO2. Which conclusion can
    be made from these observations? 

    A. Only species Y is aerobic.

    B. Only species Y is anaerobic.

    C. Both species X and Y are aerobic.

    D. Both species X and Y are anaerobic. 

EXAMPLE SEVEN

  • In which way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different? 

    A. Cellular respiration stores ATP, while photosynthesis releases
    ATP.

    B. Cellular respiration produces oxygen, while photosynthesis uses
    oxygen.

    C. Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores
    energy.

    D. Photosynthesis used carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration
    produces carbon dioxide.

EXAMPLE EIGHT

  • A diagram representing the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is shown below.

    photo cycle

    The numbered boxes in the diagram represent which of the following? 

    A. 1 - water; 2 - nitrogen

    B. 1 - nitrogen; 2 - oxygen

    C. 1 - oxygen; 2 - carbon dioxide

    D. 1 - carbon dioxide; 2 - water
