Unit 2 Review: Cells, Photosynthesis, Respiration

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen

Front

What do plants need to perform photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to perform photosynthesis.

Front

What is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

The sun is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the purpose of respiration in cells?

Back

The purpose of respiration is to break down glucose to release energy for cellular activities.

Front

What do plants release as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Front

What happens to a plant if it has water and CO2 but no light?

Back

The plant will not be able to make glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is chlorophyll's role in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What do plants need from the air to grow?

Back

Plants need carbon dioxide from the air to grow.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose), while respiration converts glucose back into usable energy (ATP).
