Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the balanced equation for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the reactants in the photosynthesis equation?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)

Front

What are the products in the cellular respiration equation?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy (ATP)

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

In the mitochondria

Front

What are the products in the photosynthesis equation?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs sunlight, providing the energy needed for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and release waste products.
