Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary goal of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The primary goal of Cellular Respiration is to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What do plants need from the air for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis.

Front

What are products in a chemical reaction?

Back

Products are substances present at the end of a chemical reaction.

Front

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

Back

The process is called photosynthesis.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

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 process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 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, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What are the main stages of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The main stages of Cellular Respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.
