Front

What is the process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis.

Front

Where does cellular respiration primarily occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the primary function of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) and produce carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

What gas is consumed during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis takes place.

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.
