Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Matrix

Complete the matrix. Use the following questions to aid in completion:

What is the purpose of this pathway?

Reactants: What does this reaction need to proceed?

Products: What is produced because of the reaction?

The role of ATP: Does it supply energy or store energy?

Cellular respiration

Photosynthesis

Pathway

Glycol sis

Krebs Cycle

Electron Transport

Light-dependent reaction

Light-independent reaction

Purpose

To break down a single molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvates

Links the anaerobic and aerobic phases of metabolism to maximize ATP resynthesis

Replaces electrons lost from the photosystem

Provide energy for the light-independent reaction

Takes the energy from ATP and energized...
