Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration

Front

What is the basic process of photosynthesis?

Back

Light energy is used to transform water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast.

Front

What are the main outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

How does carbon dioxide relate to photosynthesis and respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants during photosynthesis and released by plants and animals during respiration.

Front

What are the outputs of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of glucose produced in photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose serves as an energy source for plants and is used in cellular respiration.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose), while cellular respiration converts glucose into usable energy (ATP) for 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.
