Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Front

What happens to an animal cell if the amount of glucose is increased?

Back

The cell will produce more ATP.

Front

In what part of the cell does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Chloroplasts.

Front

What is the relationship between light distance and the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The closer the light source to the algae, the greater the rate of photosynthesis.

Front

What happens to the rate of photosynthesis if the amount of carbon dioxide is increased?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis increases.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
