Photosynthesis, Respiration, and Transpiration Review

Front

What is the equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar

Front

What is the equation for RESPIRATION?

Back

O₂ + sugar → CO₂ + H₂O + ATP

Front

What do guard cells do?

Back

Guard cells regulate the amount of water exiting and gases entering the leaves.

Front

What do plants need from the air for photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is released from the leaves of plants into the atmosphere.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (sugar) is the main product of photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is taken in during photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O₂) is released during photosynthesis.

Front

What is ATP and its role in respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during respiration.
