Back

Oxygen

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

In the mitochondria

Front

What process do both plants and animals use to release stored energy?

Back

Cellular respiration

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

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