Unit 4- Cellular Respiration & Photosynthesis

Front

What is the primary energy currency produced during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Front

What is the word equation for cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)

Front

What are the main reactants required for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Front

In which organelle does cellular respiration primarily occur?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?

Back

Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.

Front

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

Back

Photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is glycolysis and where does it occur?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, occurring in the cytoplasm.
