Photosynthesis/ Cellular Respiration Flashcard

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce their own food (glucose) and oxygen.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

What type of process is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is a chemical process.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is CO2 + H2O → C6H12O6 + O2.

Front

What does anaerobic mean?

Back

Anaerobic means the absence of oxygen.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6).

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

The byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen (O2).

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.
