Overview comparing photosynthesis & cellular respiration

1. Comparing Photosynthesis
&
Cellular Respiration

2. Prokaryotes Eukaryote
 Pro = first
 Considered more primitive
 Does not have organelles
 No intercellular
membranes
Basic Cell Types
 Eu = new
 Considered more advanced
 Has organelles
 Has intercellular
membranes

3. Basic Cell Types

4. Prokaryotes Eukaryote
 Pigments, like
chlorophyll, in cytoplasm
Location • Photosynthesis
 Chloroplast’s pigments

5. Prokaryote Eukaryotes
 Cytoplasm (or on the inner
surfaces of the cells)
 Mitochondria
Location • Aerobic Respiration

6. Light (Dependent)
Reactions
Light Independent
Reactions
 Requires light  No need for light
When • Photosynthesis

7. When • Cellular Respiration
All the time

8. CO2 H2O
Reactants (Input) • Photosynthesis

9. O2 C6H12O6
Reactants (Input) • Cellular Respiration

10. C6H12O2 O2
Products (Output) • Photosynthesis

11. CO2 H2O
Products (Output) • Aerobic Respiration

12. Photosynthesis Respiration
 Light energy  Chemical Bonds
 usually glucose C6H12O6
Energy Sources

13. Photosynthesis Respiration
 Energy stored in
glucose’s chemical
bonds.
 Energy released from
glucose chemical
bonds.
Energy Results

14. Glucose • 5-Carbon Ring • Monosaccharide
(Simple Sugar)
