Question

during photosynthesis and cellular respiration, plant cells carry out processes that involve both light energy and chemical energy. sort each tile into the correct column.
light energy
chemical energy
released through cellular respiration
used to directly power cell growth
used to directly power photosynthesis
captured by chlorophyll

Explanation:

Light energy

Step1: Analyze light - energy related processes

Light energy is captured by chlorophyll (as chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs light). And light energy is used to directly power photosynthesis (photosynthesis is a process that converts light energy into chemical energy).

Chemical energy

Step1: Analyze chemical - energy related processes

Chemical energy is released through cellular respiration (cellular respiration breaks down organic molecules like glucose to release energy in the form of ATP, which is chemical energy). And chemical energy is used to directly power cell growth (cells use ATP, a form of chemical energy, for various metabolic processes including growth).

Answer:

• Light energy: captured by chlorophyll, used to directly power photosynthesis.
• Chemical energy: released through cellular respiration, used to directly power cell growth.
