Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcard

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose + Oxygen ---> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP

Front

What is the main function of mitochondria in plant cells?

Back

Release energy in the form of ATP

Front

How does light intensity affect photosynthesis?

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and Oxygen.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis in plant cells.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

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.
