Cellular Respiration, Photosynthesis, and ATP

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are specialized structures where food (glucose) is made.

Front

What is the main goal of cellular respiration?

Back

To make ATP.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.
