There are many similarities between the process of photosynthesis and the process of cellular respiration. Which of the following is an accurate comparison of photosynthesis and cellular respiration? Only cellular respiration involves an electron transport chain that creates a proton motive force driving ATP synthesis. Only photosynthesis involves redox reactions. The intermembrane space of mitochondria serves a similar function as the thylakoid space of chloroplasts. The Calvin cycle and the citric acid cycle have the same function.

For the following questions, choose one to discuss: chloroplast/photosynthesis State at the outset which one you will discuss.  A) What role do proton gradients play in the process of photosynthesis proton gradients allow B) Where are proton gradients formed? Within what structures are they seen in chloroplasts How do the structures help them to maintain a gradient?  C) Explain where and how the chloroplast or mitochondria uses passive transport and active transport to complete photosynthesis or cellular respiration.

Complete the following table to compare the electron-transport phase of cellular respiration with the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
