Notes: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
What is Photosynthesis?
1. The picture on the first slide shows the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration. Write four things you
learned about photosynthesis and/or respiration by studying the diagram.
2. Why is photosynthesis the most important chemical reaction on our planet?
3. Slide 3 provides details about photosynthesis. What are five ingredients involved in photosynthesis?
4. A chemical equation describe what goes IN to a chemical reaction (left of the arrow = reactants) and what come
OUT of the reaction (right of the arrow = products). Fill in the table below:
IN = Reactants of Photosynthesis
OUT = Products of Photosynthesis
5. Slides 5 and 6 show some an energy transformation taking place during photosynthesis. Describe an important
energy transfers.
Energy Source
Description of Energy Transformation Taking Place
6. List two reasons why photosynthesis important to us?
7. Study the diagram in slide 9. Write four things you learned about photosynthesis and/or respiration by studying the
diagram.
8. What additional information about cellular respiration is provided by the diagram in slide 10? Add two new pieces of
information in the table below.
9. Slide 11 and 12 show where photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place in organism. Complete the chart:
Chloroplast
Mitochondrion
Process that takes place inside this
organelle
What goes IN to the process?
What comes OUT of the process?
What is required for process to
occur?
10. A chemical equation describe what goes IN to a chemical reaction (left of the arrow = reactants) and what come
OUT of the reaction (right of the arrow = products). Fill in the table below:
IN = Reactants of Respiration
OUT = Products of Respiration
11. Slide 13 shows several connections between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Describe 2 of those
connections in the chart below:
12. Use the diagram on slide 14 to draw the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Use the
graphic organizer as an outline to label the following:
glucose, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, energy (ATP), light energy, heat energy (2 places), sun. DRAW in
additional arrows, organisms, and objects as needed.
