Front

Where do plants absorb water for photosynthesis?

Back

Roots.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to facilitate the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.

Front

What is the primary energy currency of the cell produced during cellular respiration?

Back
