3.3 How does photosynthesis relate to cell respiration? Summarize how energy flows from sunlight to ATP and how matter cycles between photosynthesis and cell respiration.

 There are many correct permutations of this concept map. To receive full credit your concept map must use all terms and linking phrases at least once; all propositions must be scientifically correct; and every proposition must connect to another proposition.

If your concept map has any incorrect propositions, you will receive partial credit.

Picture is attached!

I see an incomplete concept map below, so I will just explain how the two processes are related.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two processes that depend on each other. Each process makes what the other one needs.

Photosynthesis uses water and carbon dioxide, and it makes glucose and oxygen.
Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen, and it makes water and carbon dioxide.

Photosynthesis builds the sugars that cellular respiration breaks down. In breaking down the sugars, cellular respiration makes the smaller molecules that photosynthesis uses to build more sugars.

The link between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is an inverse relationship, both are opposites of each other. Photosynthesis is the process by which carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds from sunlight. The most frequent compound is sugar. Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria. Cellular respiration, in contrast, takes glucose (sugar) and other organic compounds oxidizing them to create carbon dioxide. Each cycle depends on one another in order for the "entire cycle" to take place. The completed cycle ensures life continues to exist on the planet. Both are necessary for living organisms.

Photosynthesis is a natural process that provides all aerobic creatures on earth with oxygen. Without photosynthesis, humans would cease to exist. Photosynthesis helps maintain a natural amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. The process of photosynthesis is also the source of carbon in organic compounds in human bodies, as well as animals. Photosynthesis provides the oxygen for life and for the process of cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration can be defined as metabolic reactions in organic cells which converts biochemical energy into adenosine triphosphate, better known as ATP. Cellular respiration also releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere allowing plants, algae, and bacteria to process the carbon dioxide back into oxygen. Photosnythesis and cellular respiration is a life cycle that keeps the natural ecological balance of the earth in place.

Photosynthetic organisms synthesize their food directly from carbon dioxide (produced through cellular respiration) using light energy from the sun. Plants, algae, and bacteria release oxygen after sugar is synthesized. Carbon dioxide is converted into sugars through a process known as carbon fixation, which is defined as the process of converting carbon dioxide to a solid compound.

The simplest equation for photosynthesis can be summed up as such:

Carbon dioxide + light energy → carbohydrates (sugar) + oxygen

The Krebs cycle (citric acid) explains the process of cellular respiration. The cycle begins with a two-carbon compounds that changes into a six-carbon compound (citrate). The citrate undergoes chemical transformations within the cell, while losing two carbon dioxide molecules in the process. This is how carbon dioxide is released into the air for photosynthetic organisms to begin photosynthesis. Most of the energy created through cellular respiration is transferred as positive electrons forming NADH+, a co-enzyme called Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide at the end of the cycle.

The cycle of photosynthesis and cellular respiration make one large cycle that sustains life on the planet. Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are required to exist in symbiosis. Without photosynthesis, cellular respiration cannot occur, and without cellular respiration, photosynthesis cannot occur. Nature has created a delicate balance in both of these cycles.

Basically I need you guys to link the terms together to create a complete concept map. Draw me a concept map using the terms and statements given!

How to Create a Concept Map

Design a concept map based on the topic using all terms and linking phrases at least once.

Step 1: Drag a linking phrase example image into the workspace.

Step 2: Connect two terms to form a connection called a proposition.
linking phrase with attached terms example image


Step 3: Organize the propositions to show the relationships between each other.

Step 4: Press the Finish button to complete your concept map.


The Undo button erases the last action.

The Clear All button resets the activity.
