Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What are the main inputs for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite processes; photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What type of respiration requires oxygen?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen.

Front

What type of respiration occurs without oxygen?

Back

Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

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