Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Front

What organelle is responsible for cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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

Front

What is the primary pigment found in plants?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What process do plants use to convert light energy into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis

Front

Which pigment captures sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell.

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 significance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, and converts it into chemical energy.
