b. Use this word bank to fill in the boxes on this figure to see how Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration fit
together. Not all words are used.
ATP Calvin Cycle CO2 Glucose Glycolysis
H2O Krebs Cycle Lipids Light reactions NADPH
Oxidative Phosphorylation Oxygen Protein Pyruvate
2. Compare and contrast these energy transformations in Photosynthesis. Focus on the
photosystems and not the electron transport after the photosystem.

3. Three identical plates of radish seeds are incubated under three different conditions, with results as shown.
All three have equal access to molecules in the air. After three days, the experiment is halted and the plates
are put in a drying oven to remove all water (in and out of cells).

A. B. C.
a. For the following answer photosynthesis, cellular respiration, both or neither:
What is happening in condition A? ______________________________________
What is happening in condition B? ______________________________________
What is happening in condition C? ______________________________________
b. How will the dry weights of the 3 plates compare at the end? (think of biomolecules)
1) A < B < C 2) B < A < C 3) A = B < C
4) C < B < A 5) B < C < A 6) B = C < A
7) C < A < B 8) A < C < B 9) C = A < B
c. Explain your answer. If there is a change in mass, discuss what element is
changing and where is it coming from or going.
