Document Summary
Chapter 9, pages 162 177, 180 181. Complete this reading guide as you read the textbook pages listed above. You might not have to read every word on every page, rather pay close attention to the questions in this guide and answer them as you work through the textbook. Also pay close attention to the terms that are underlined: these are key terms that you should know the definitions of and be able to apply in new situations. Photosynthesis generates oxygen and organic molecules that are used by the mitochondira as fuel for cellular respiration. Respiration breaks fuel down creating atp and waste like co2 and water which are needed for photosynthesis. Fermentation is a partial degradation of sugars or other organic fuel that occurs without the use of oxygen. Like cellular respiration it breaks down sugars, however, it doesnt use o2. Organic compounds + oxygen > co2 + h2o + energy.
