Unit 2: Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

What three things do plants need for the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the three stages of cellular respiration?

Back

1- Glycolysis 2- Krebs cycle 3- Electron transport chain.

Front

During photosynthesis, what form does the food take?

Back

The food takes the form of sugar.

Front

What is the compound that plants use to absorb the energy from light?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What does chlorophyll capture?

Back

Chlorophyll captures the energy of sunlight.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

Where does the Krebs cycle occur?

Back

In the mitochondria.
