Station #9: Cellular Energy (Doubled Sided)
Answer the following questions and fill in the graphic organizer with the correct details.
Define Photosynthesis: In photosynthesis, sunlight is absorbed (water & carbon dioxide are
used) and sugars are made that store chemical energy (oxygen is released as waste).
Chloroplast Sunlight Thylakoid
Chlorophyll 6 O2 (oxygen)
Energy Transferred 6 H2O (water) C6H12O6 (sugar)
6 CO2 (carbon Dioxide) Stroma
Write the equation for photosynthesis:
6 H2O + 6 CO2 ÆÆÆÆÆÆ 6 O2 + C6H12O6
Draw a box around the reactants and circle the products.
See answers above on chloroplast
Define Cellular Respiration:
The overall process of cellular respiration converts sugar into ATP using oxygen.
Mitochondria Anaerobic process that splits glucose. Into 2 pyruvate and makes a small amount of ATP Kreb’s Cycle Matrix energy
2 3‐carbon molecules (pyruvate) 6 CO2 (carbon dioxide)
Energy Transferred
energy 6 O2 (oxygen) 36 ATP!
6 H2O (water)
Write the equation for cellular respiration:
6 O2 + C6H12O6 ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ 6 H2O + 6 CO2
Draw a box around the reactants and circle the products. See answers above on mitochondria
Where does lactic acid fermentation take place? In the cell’s cytoplasm
What is the purpose of fermentation? Allow glycolysis to continue to make a small amount of ATP in
the absence of oxygen.
