Photosynthesis and Respiration

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ -> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

What is the purpose of glycolysis?

Back

The purpose of glycolysis is to breakdown glucose to form two 3-carbon molecules.

Front

In which eukaryotic organelles does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts.

Front

What energy source do plants use for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis from sunlight.

Front

How is the electron replaced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

The electron is replaced by the splitting of H₂O.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

Front

What is the significance of the Krebs cycle in cellular respiration?

Back

The Krebs cycle produces electron carriers (NADH and FADH₂) that are used in the electron transport chain.
