Study Notes
Photosynthesis Overview
- Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, specifically in plant cells.
- Required reactants for photosynthesis: carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight.
- Main products of photosynthesis include oxygen (O2) and glucose.
Cellular Respiration Overview
- Cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria, found in both plant and animal cells.
- Key reactants needed for cellular respiration: glucose and oxygen (O2).
- Primary products of cellular respiration are ATP, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O).
Recirculation of Substances
- Four essential substances recycled during photosynthesis and respiration: carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), glucose, and oxygen (O2).
- Sunlight is a critical component for photosynthesis that is not recycled; it must be continuously available.
Chloroplasts vs Mitochondria
- Chloroplasts are predominantly present in leaf cells, which receive maximum sunlight and perform photosynthesis.
- Mitochondria are found in both plant and animal cells as both organisms need to convert sugars into ATP.
Animal and Plant Cell Differences
- Chloroplasts are absent in animal cells since they do not perform photosynthesis.
- Mitochondria are present in animal cells, essential for metabolizing food and generating ATP.
