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 role

Light energy is captured by chlorophyll during photosynthesis.

Step2: Check other options for light energy

It is not directly used for cell growth (that's more chemical energy - ATP etc. in cellular respiration context for growth in a sense of building blocks etc. but light energy's main initial role is capture by chlorophyll for photosynthesis). And it's not released through cellular respiration (cellular respiration releases chemical energy from organic molecules).

Chemical energy

Step1: Analyze chemical energy role

Chemical energy (stored in glucose etc. made in photosynthesis) is used to directly power cell growth (e.g., building macromolecules, active transport which is part of cell function and growth - using ATP which is chemical energy). And it is released through cellular respiration (breaking down glucose to release energy in ATP). It is used to directly power photosynthesis (in the sense of using ATP from previous cellular respiration in some parts of photosynthesis - like Calvin cycle in plants where ATP is used to fix carbon, but also the glucose made in photosynthesis is a form of chemical energy that can be used in cellular respiration. And in a broader sense, the energy conversions - light to chemical in photosynthesis, then chemical (glucose) to more usable chemical (ATP) in cellular respiration).

Answer:

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