AHSGE Objective #3 Photosynthesis and Respiration

AHSGE Objective #3 Identify reactants and products associated

with photosynthesis and cellular respiration and the purpose of these two processes.

List of Key Concepts: #3-1. Greek / Latin Word Parts #3-2. Photosynthesis #3-3. Cellular Respiration #3-4. Fermentation

#3-1. Greek / Latin Word Parts auto- chloro- hetero- photo- -phyll troph-

#3-1. Greek / Latin Word Parts auto- self chloro- green hetero- other, different photo- light -phyll leaf troph- feeding

#3-2. Photosynthesis process in which light

energy is converted to chemical energy

carried out by autotrophs location: chloroplasts equation: carbon dioxide + water + sunlight

oxygen + glucoseMake sure know the

difference between reactants and products!

#3-3. Cellular Respiration (AKA: Aerobic Respiration) process used to release energy in food to

make ATP / burning glucose to release energy

carried out by heterotrophs and autotrophs

location: mitochondria equation: oxygen + glucose carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP)

Make sure know the difference between reactants

and products!

#3-4. Fermentation AKA: anaerobic respiration respiration in the absence of oxygen /

burning glucose when oxygen is NOT present

may produce lactic acid or alcohol The process of fermentation is used while

making friendship bread

Activity: Energy Currency of a Cell People use currency/money to function in

today’s society in order to purchase basic needs…In a similar fashion, a cell needs ENERGY in order to function and survive.

The energy required for cell processes is produced in the mitochondria of the cell during the process of respiration!

During this activity you will substitute common parts found on a typical dollar bill (our form of currency) with characteristics of respiration and energy/ATP production.

Activity: Energy Currency of a Cell Replace the following… With This…

“Federal Reserve Note” “Energy Currency of a Cell Note”

“The United States of America”

Location of the process that produces energy…

Quiz AL COS #3 (Photosynthesis and Respiration)1. Define the word “reactants” in your words.2. Define the word “product” in your own words.3. Identify the location within the cell that

photosynthesis occurs.4. Record the equation for photosynthesis.5. Identify the location within the cell that

respiration occurs.6. Record the equation for respiration.7. Identify the 2 types of respiration.8. List as many differences between the 2 types of

respiration that you can think of.
