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.

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen as a waste product during photosynthesis.

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.

What happens to a plant's sugar production if carbon dioxide is removed?

Back

If carbon dioxide is removed from a plant's environment, no sugars will be produced.
