2. Describe in your own words what cellular respiration is and why it is needed. (2)
3. What is the general (balanced) chemical equation for photosynthesis? What is it for cellular respiration?
How are they related? (3)
4. In what step of cellular respiration does glucose first get broken down? What is the final product of this
break down and where in the cell does this happen? (3 marks)
5. Why do you think all organisms (prokaryotes and eukaryotes) can use glycolysis but not all organisms
use the Kreb’s cycle and ETC (only eukaryotes do)? (2 marks)

12. What are enzymes? Why are they considered essential for the process of metabolism? Pick two out of
the following list, identify if they are a part of photosynthesis or CR, name the stage they are a part of, and
what their job is? (fumarase, hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, ATP synthase) (10 marks)
