Photosynthesis and Respiration

Front

What process do you breathe in oxygen to aid?

Back

Cellular respiration.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into glucose.

Front

What is the main energy carrier used by cells for daily activities?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).

Front

What does the Calvin cycle use to produce glucose?

Back

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) is used to help produce C6H12O6 (glucose).

Front

What is the main goal of cellular respiration?

Back

To produce ATP.

Front

What are the two main processes involved in energy conversion in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

How does ATP release energy?

Back

By breaking the high-energy bond between the second and third phosphate groups.
