Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

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

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to make food (glucose) for the plant.

Front

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants perform cellular respiration.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration, and vice versa.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

True or False: Plants can perform both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

Back

True.
