Photosynthesis and Respiration Test

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To release energy from food.

Front

What molecule (green pigment) absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

True or False: Autotrophs can carry out photosynthesis while heterotrophs cannot.

Back

True.

Front

Why does a plant have both chloroplast and mitochondria?

Back

The chloroplast makes glucose that the mitochondria uses to make ATP.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis in plant cells.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
