What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water, and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: @@6CO_2 + 6H_2O + light ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2@@.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and other organic molecules to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) using oxygen.

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: @@6O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6 ightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Energy@@.

Front

What is the main difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for photosynthesis to occur, allowing plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

The byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere.
