Question
The following table describes some aspects of the two main metabolic functions, photosynthesis and cellular respiration:
Comparing Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Characteristic Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration
Location within cell
Light reactions = thylakoid membrane
Calvin cycle = stroma
Both happen in X of plant cells
Glycolysis = cytoplasm
Kreb’s cycle and electron transport chain = Y
Reactants
Carbon dioxide (CO2),
Water (H2O), and
Solar Energy
Glucose (C6H12O6) and
Oxygen (O2)
Products
Glucose (C6H12O6) and
Oxygen (O2)
Carbon dioxide (CO2),
Water (H2O), and
ATP

The correct answer choice that identifies the missing information from the table is:
**X = chloroplasts; Y = mitochondria**
In plant cells:
- Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts (where both the light reactions and Calvin cycle take place).
- Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria (where glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, and the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain take place in the mitochondria).
**X = chloroplasts; Y = mitochondria**
In plant cells:
- Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts (where both the light reactions and Calvin cycle take place).
- Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria (where glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, and the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain take place in the mitochondria).
