Photosynthesis (Chap 7) and Cellular Respiration (Chap 6)

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration: How Are They Similar and how are they different?

1.    State the organisms that carry out each process: bacteria, animals, plants

a.    Photosynthesis:

b.    Aerobic Respiration:

2.    The two processes have chemical formulas that are reverse of each other. Write the formula for each:

a.    Photosynthesis:

b.    Aerobic Respiration:

3.    The two processes have reverse goals: State the goals (hint: to make____? or to break____?) and how achieving those goals enables the organism to survive.

a.    Photosynthesis:

b.    Aerobic Respiration:

4.    Both processes use electron transfer chains and H+ gradients to generate ATP. Where are the electron transfer chain enzymes located? How do the H+ move? (be specific)

a.    Photosynthesis:

b.    Aerobic Respiration:

5.    What is the terminal electron acceptor for each electron transfer chain?

a.    Photosynthesis:

b.    Aerobic Respiration:

6.    Both processes use redox reactions involving coenzyme molecules to pass electrons. What are the coenzymes that are used in each process in their reduced form?

a.    Photosynthesis:

b.    Aerobic Respiration:
