The word ‘profound’ is an adjective, so it must be the noun word ‘effect’ after the adjective one to make a proper noun phrase. Meanwhile, the word ‘affect’ is a verb. Then, the word ‘affected’ means made an influence (active), while the word ‘effected’ means cause something to happen (passive).
For the second sentence, it is easy to differentiate the usage of ‘affect’ and ‘effect’ by pointing out their word class, ‘affect’ is a verb and ‘effect’ is a noun. Therefore, to form a proper sentence, it needs a verb. To make it simple, here are the definition of each word based on each word class:
