Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), along with sunlight.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A type of respiration that requires oxygen to produce energy.

Front

What is the main product of cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used for energy.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the Electron Transport Chain?

Back

A series of protein complexes in the mitochondria that transfer electrons and produce ATP.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell.
