Photosynthesis and Respiration Test

Front

What organelle is responsible for energy production in cells?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for producing energy in cells through cellular respiration.

Front

What type of respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration is the type of respiration that requires oxygen.

Front

What are organisms called that consume dead and decaying matter?

Back

Detritivores are organisms that 'clean up' the ecosystem by eating dead and decaying organisms.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy.

Front

What do we call organisms that can produce their own food?

Back

Producers are organisms that can make their own food, often through photosynthesis.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which plants use for energy.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy.
