Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To make glucose.

Front

What gas do plants take in to perform photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
