Cellular Energy and Processes Review

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, and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

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

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

What's produced by one is needed for the other; oxygen produced in photosynthesis is used in cellular respiration, and carbon dioxide produced in cellular respiration is used in photosynthesis.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is the waste product of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

What organelle is responsible for cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy in the presence of oxygen.

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy without oxygen.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

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