Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The primary purpose of cellular respiration is to convert the chemical energy stored in glucose into ATP, which is usable energy for the cell.

Front

What are the main reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The main reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells, making it essential for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected processes; photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose), while cellular respiration converts that chemical energy into ATP.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.

Front

What are the stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
