Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

What pigment is responsible for the green color in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for the green color in plants.

Front

What two processes occur in plants related to energy conversion?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in plants.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Front

Where does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose?

Back

The process is called photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

The primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis is to absorb light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, while cellular respiration converts glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis.
