Unit 4: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
For this unit there will be three essay questions for you to focus on as you study cells. You will be expected to answer each of these questions in a detailed, three to five paragraph essay. One of these essays will appear on the Chapter 8 & 9 Test at the end of this unit.
1. Describe, in detail, the path of energy through the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Focus on the various forms that the energy takes as it is passed along from one stage of these processes to the next.
2. Explain why the conversion of oxygen to carbon dioxide during cellular respiration in important to the functioning of a person’s body. Follow the path from the inhalation of O2 to the exhalation of CO2 and use specific examples of when an organ would use these molecules to achieve a specific goal.
3. Compare the electron transport chain in the thylakoid of a chloroplast with the electron transport chain in a mitochondrion. Focus on where the electrons come from, where the electrons get their energy, what molecules take on the electrons at the end of each chain and how the energy from the electrons is used.
