Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary energy molecule in cells?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the primary energy molecule in cells.

Front

What are the two main requirements for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need sunlight and carbon dioxide (CO2) for photosynthesis.

Front

Why do leaves appear green?

Back

Leaves look green because they contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light.

Front

Which color of light is not absorbed by chlorophyll?

Back

Green light is not absorbed by chlorophyll pigments.

Front

What is the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What role does ATP play in cellular processes?

Back

ATP provides energy for various cellular processes, including muscle contraction and active transport.

Front

What is chlorophyll and its function in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What is the significance of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed to drive the chemical reactions of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose), while cellular respiration converts glucose into usable energy (ATP).
