Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are the location inside a plant cell where photosynthesis happens.

Front

What are products in a chemical reaction?

Back

Products are substances present at the end of a chemical reaction.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP is a form of energy the cell can use that is produced by cellular respiration.

Front

What are reactants in a chemical reaction?

Back

Reactants are substances present at the beginning of a chemical reaction.

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 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, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related as they are opposite processes; photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy.
