Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + glucose.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
