GUIDED TEXTBOOK DIAGRAM QUESTIONS
From Prentice Hall Biology Textbook by Miller & Levine
Photosynthesis Overview
Guided Diagram Questions for figure above
1. What organelle does photosynthesis take place in?
2. After identifying the major organelle involved, determine what type of organisms would do
photosynthesis. (hint: think back to which types of cells in Ch. 7 had this organelle)
3. How many major steps are involved to complete photosynthesis and name all of them.
4. List the location of the organelle that each step takes place in. (after we learn parts of this
organelle use diagram as reference)
5. What reactants are needed for the:
a. Light dependent reactions
b. Calvin Cycle
6. What products are needed for the:
a. Light dependent reactions
b. Calvin Cycle
7. Write the overall chemical equation for:
a. Light Dependent Reactions
b. Calvin Cycle
c. Overall Photosynthesis Equation (excluding any recycled molecules)
8. What 2 products result from the overall photosynthesis reaction?
9. Make an educated guess based on previous chapters why each product identified in question above
is so important.
10. How are ATP and NADPH used in the overall reaction (meaning in both major steps) according to
the diagram above?
Cellular Respiration Overview
Guided Diagram Questions Using Figure 9-2
11. Write the chemical equation for:
a. Photosynthesis
b. Cellular Respiration (refer to page 222 in text portion)
c. After writing the 2 equations, how are both reactions similar? Different?
12. What organelle does cellular respiration take place in?
13. After identifying the major organelle involved, determine what type of organisms would do
cellular respiration. (hint: think back to which types of cells in Ch. 7 had this organelle)
14. How many major steps are involved to complete cellular respiration and name all of them.
15. List the location of the cell that each step takes place in.
16. Reading the caption above the diagram, what key ingredient is needed to complete cellular
respiration?
17. What product is the main goal for cellular respiration?
18. Why is the product identified in question above so important (hint: think back to cell functions)?
