Question
- where does the process of photosynthesis occur?
- write the chemical formula for process of photosynthesis. identify the reactants and products of photosynthesis.
- where does cellular respiration occur?
- write the chemical formula for process of cellular respiration. identify the reactants and products of cellular respiration.
- what is atp? (what is the role of atp in muscle contraction)
cells require energy to complete biological processes. how is energy initially released from atp to make these processes possible?
- how are photosynthesis and cellular respiration interrelated?
Question 2
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells (and some algae/cyanobacteria). Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll to capture light energy.
Step1: Recall Photosynthesis Formula
The chemical formula for photosynthesis is $6\ce{CO_2} + 6\ce{H_2O} \xrightarrow[\text{Chlorophyll}]{\text{Light Energy}} \ce{C_6H_{12}O_6} + 6\ce{O_2}$.
Step2: Identify Reactants/Products
Reactants are the substances used: carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$) and water ($\ce{H_2O}$). Products are what’s made: glucose ($\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$) and oxygen ($\ce{O_2}$).
Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria (and cytoplasm for glycolysis). Mitochondria are the "powerhouses" for aerobic respiration (Krebs cycle, electron transport chain), while glycolysis happens in the cytoplasm.
