Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain.

Front

What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell.

Front

How does cellular respiration relate to photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce ATP.
