Think about photosynthesis and cellular respiration for each description determine whether it applies only to photosynthesis only to cellular respiration, are both photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Photosynthesis:
- Absorbs energy from sunlight: Applies only to photosynthesis.
- Converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen: Applies only to photosynthesis.
- Takes place in the chloroplasts: Applies only to photosynthesis.
- Anabolic process: Applies only to photosynthesis.
- Energy is stored in the form of glucose: Applies only to photosynthesis.
- Occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria: Applies to both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
- Releases oxygen as a byproduct: Applies only to photosynthesis.
- Converts light energy into chemical energy: Applies only to photosynthesis.
Cellular Respiration:
- Releases energy from glucose: Applies only to cellular respiration.
- Converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water: Applies only to cellular respiration.
- Takes place in the mitochondria: Applies only to cellular respiration.
- Catabolic process: Applies only to cellular respiration.
- Energy is released in the form of ATP: Applies only to cellular respiration.
- Occurs in all living organisms: Applies to both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
- Consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide: Applies only to cellular respiration.
- Converts chemical energy into usable energy: Applies only to cellular respiration.
