Photosynthesis and cellular 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 the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar.

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

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP).

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What are the main inputs for photosynthesis?

Back

The main inputs for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and light energy.

Front

What are the main outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The main outputs of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
