  1. In which cellular organelle does photosynthesis take place?
    Chloroplast

  2. In what cellular organelle does cellular respiration take place?
    Mitochondria

  3. How are PHOTOSYNTHESIS and CELLULAR RESPIRATION related?
    Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected processes that complement each other. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are used to produce glucose and oxygen. This glucose serves as energy storage for the plant. Cellular respiration, which takes place in the mitochondria of both plant and animal cells, uses glucose and oxygen to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell, along with byproducts of carbon dioxide and water. The oxygen produced during photosynthesis is utilized in cellular respiration, and the carbon dioxide produced during respiration is used in photosynthesis, creating a cycle that sustains life on Earth.
