Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the process in which plants capture the energy in sunlight and use it to make food?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What is the primary energy carrier in cells?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6 CO2 + 6 H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)

Front

What is the significance of photosynthesis in the ecosystem?

Back

Photosynthesis is essential for producing oxygen and organic compounds that serve as food for living organisms.

Front

How does ATP release energy?

Back

ATP releases energy when it loses a phosphate group, converting to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate).

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
