Question

examine the model for two cellular organelles found in many eukaryotic cells. which molecule(s) could be represented by the circle labeled z that is produced as an output of the mitochondria and required by the chloroplast? select all that apply.
a letter z could be carbon dioxide because it is produced in cellular respiration and is a reactant of photosynthesis.
b letter z could be a water molecule because it is produced in cellular respiration and is a reactant of photosynthesis.
c letter z could be a water molecule because it is produced in photosynthesis and is a reactant of cellular respiration.
d letter z could be a glucose molecule because it is produced in photosynthesis and is a reactant of cellular respiration.
e letter z could be an oxygen molecule because it is produced in cellular respiration and is a reactant of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

• Cellular Respiration in Mitochondria:
• The general equation for cellular respiration is \(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}

ightarrow6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O +\text{Energy}\). So, carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)) and water (\(H_{2}O\)) are produced as by - products in cellular respiration.

• Photosynthesis in Chloroplasts:
• The general equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O

ightarrow C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\). Carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)) and water (\(H_{2}O\)) are reactants for photosynthesis.

Answer:

A. Letter Z could be carbon dioxide because it is produced in cellular respiration and is a reactant of photosynthesis.
B. Letter Z could be a water molecule because it is produced in cellular respiration and is a reactant of photosynthesis.
