Unit 2 Photosynthesis and Respiration Practice Test

Front

What is the primary function of carbohydrates in living organisms?

Back

Short term energy.

Front

What molecule is primarily broken down during Cellular Respiration to produce ATP?

Back

Glucose.

Front

Write the chemical equation for Cellular Respiration.

Back

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

Front

What pigment is responsible for absorbing light energy in chloroplasts during photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is one of the functions of proteins in biological systems?

Back

Speeding up reactions in cells.

Front

What are the two main processes involved in energy conversion in cells?

Back

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

In the chloroplasts.

Front

What are the two main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in Cellular Respiration?

Back

It acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

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