Photosynthesis & Cell Respiration

Front

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.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Which process releases energy?

Back

Cellular respiration releases energy.

Front

How many products are produced during photosynthesis?

Back

2 products: glucose and oxygen.

Front

Is Carbon Dioxide (CO2) a Raw Material or Product of Photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a raw material (ingredient) of photosynthesis.

Front

How many raw materials does photosynthesis require?

Back

Photosynthesis requires 3 raw materials: carbon dioxide, water, and light energy.

Front

How many ATP are produced in aerobic respiration?

Back

36 ATP are produced in aerobic respiration.

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 photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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