Front

What are the reactants of Aerobic Respiration?

Back

Glucose and Oxygen.

Front

What are the reactants of Photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon Dioxide and Water.

Front

What is the role of NADP+/NADPH in Photosynthesis?

Back

NADP+ is an electron carrier that gets reduced to NADPH during the light reactions.

Front

What is the process where C6H12O6 is oxidized and O2 is reduced?

Back

Aerobic Respiration.

Front

What is the role of NAD+/NADH in Aerobic Respiration?

Back

NAD+ is an electron carrier that gets reduced to NADH during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.

Front

Define 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

Define Aerobic Respiration.

Back

Aerobic Respiration is the process of producing cellular energy in the presence of oxygen by breaking down glucose into carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the overall equation for Photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the overall equation for Aerobic Respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What is the significance of electron carriers in cellular respiration?

Back

Electron carriers like NAD+ and FAD transport electrons to the electron transport chain, facilitating ATP production.
