PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

 We will examine the exchange of oxygen

and carbon dioxide between living things
and the environment.
Key Elements
 Chloroplasts -
Organelles found only
in plant cells that carry
out photosynthesis.
 Mitochondria -
Organelles found in
plant and animal cells
that carry out cellular
respiration.

 Lesson Summary
 Photosynthesis and cellular
respiration are related. How?
 Photosynthesis occurs in the
chloroplast of plant cells.
 Cellular respiration occurs in
the mitochondria of plant and
animal cells.
 Whenever you see an arrow in
our equations, think “produces”.
 Reactants produce products.
Remember, what one produces
the other one needs. It is a
cycle.
