Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which plants use for energy.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Front

What gas is released by plants during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released by plants during photosynthesis.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to produce energy (ATP) for cellular activities.

Front

Do plants perform cellular respiration?

Back

Yes, plants perform cellular respiration to convert glucose into energy.

Front

What is the powerhouse of the cell?

Back

The powerhouse of the cell is the mitochondrion, which produces energy.
