Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What pigment is responsible for the green color in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that reflects green light, making many plants appear green.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis takes place, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

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

Where does cellular respiration occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.

Front

What are the two main types of respiration?

Back

The two main types of respiration are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

Front

Which type of respiration produces more energy, aerobic or anaerobic?

Back

Aerobic respiration produces more energy compared to anaerobic respiration.

Front

What is lactic acid and when is it produced?

Back

Lactic acid is a waste product that builds up in muscle cells during heavy exercise when oxygen levels are low.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in aerobic respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential for aerobic respiration as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
