Question

  1. where does the process of photosynthesis occur?
  2. write the chemical formula for process of photosynthesis. identify the reactants and products of photosynthesis.
  3. where does cellular respiration occur?
  4. write the chemical formula for process of cellular respiration. identify the reactants and products of cellular respiration.
  5. 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?

  1. how are photosynthesis and cellular respiration interrelated?

Explanation:

Question 2

Step1: Recall photosynthesis site

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts (organelles with chlorophyll, seen in the top diagram).

Step2: Confirm with biology concepts

Chloroplasts have thylakoids (where light - dependent reactions occur) and stroma (where light - independent reactions occur).

Step1: Write 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 and products

Reactants are the substances used: carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$) and water ($\ce{H_2O}$). Products are the substances formed: glucose ($\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$) and oxygen ($\ce{O_2}$).

Step1: Recall cellular respiration site

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria (the organelle in the bottom diagram) and also in the cytoplasm (for glycolysis, the first step).

Step2: Confirm with biology concepts

Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain), while glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm.

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells (and some algae).
