11/20 Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration REVIEW

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells?

Back

To convert glucose into ATP.

Front

Which membrane-bound organelle is primarily involved in the process of aerobic cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis in plants?

Back

To convert solar energy into chemical energy.

Front

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration can be considered opposite processes because -

Back

Photosynthesis releases oxygen, while cellular respiration uses oxygen.

Front

What do diatoms produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) from CO2 and H2O.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight to convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy, while cellular respiration converts that chemical energy into usable energy (ATP).
