Cellular Resp., Photosyn., Carbon Cycle

Front

What is the primary source of carbon for animals?

Back

Animals get their carbon from their food.

Front

What process do both heterotrophs and autotrophs use to convert glucose into ATP?

Back

Cellular respiration.

Front

What process converts carbon in the form of sugar into carbon dioxide gas?

Back

Respiration.

Front

What is the source of energy for photosynthesis in plants?

Back

Plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis from sunlight.

Front

What do plants pull from the air during photosynthesis to make food?

Back

Plants pull CO2 from the air.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
