Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the process by which cells release energy by breaking down food molecules without using oxygen?

Back

Fermentation

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO2 + H2O + Light energy → C6H12O6 + O2

What is the main purpose of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Produce ATP (energy)

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Front

What are heterotrophs?

Back

Organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms for energy.

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2)
