Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O General Chemical Equation: Organelles Involved: Chloroplasts and Mitochondria Name of Steps: 1. Absorption of light 2. Electron transport leading to the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH 3. Generation of ATP 4. Conversion of CO2 into carbohydrates (carbon fixation) Electron carriers: NADPH, NAD+, FAD Electron source: Water Where is the electron transport chain located? In the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts and the inner mitochondrial membrane. Is a gradient present? Yes, a proton gradient is present. How much ATP is produced? Approximately 30-32 ATP molecules. Is O2 produced or consumed? O2 is produced. Does this process occur in plants or animals? Both plants and animals. One sentence description of the purpose of this process: Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, while cellular respiration releases energy from glucose to produce ATP.

Cells have a variety of organelles, each with a specific function. The organelles must work together in order for the cell to survive. Describe the function of a chloroplast and mitochondria. Identify the chemical reaction that occurs in both organelles, explaining what happens in these reactions. Describe how the chloroplast and mitochondria work together to help a plant cell survive.
