Front

What is the primary location of aerobic respiration in a cell?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

Where do the light reactions of photosynthesis occur?

Back

Thylakoids of the chloroplast

Front

What is the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and sugars.

Front

How does the rate of photosynthesis change with increasing light intensity?

Back

It increases, and then remains the same.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
