_______________________________1. Glucose is the end product in photosynthesis, which is considered as the
main food of the plants and stored in excess in the form of starch
and sugar.
_______________________________2. Allowing the exchange of gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide through their
thin walls, the bronchioles are surrounded by the network of
capillaries where the inspired gases pass through. f
_______________________________3. The process of taking air into the lungs is called inspiration, and the
process of breathing it out is called expiration.
_______________________________4. Evolution refers to a variety of life on Earth today that consists of many
millions of distinct biological species, together with the places where
they are found, such as deserts, forest and coral reefs. f

______18. Your sister, Kaithleen saw your notes about the flow of energy and matter through photosynthesis

down energy-rich organics to synthesize ATP
C. photosynthesis involves the oxidation of glucose; respiration involves the reduction of CO 2 the
primary function of photosynthesis is to use solar energy to synthesize ATP; the primary
function of cellular respiration is to break down ATP and release energy

cannot occur in the same cell at the same time

The choice to have a great attitude

is something that nobody
or no circumstances
can take from you.
