cell respiration and photosynthesis

Front

What is the function of the chloroplast?

Back

Organelle where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process of using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make glucose (food) and oxygen.

Front

What is the chemical formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6.

Front

Do plants go through photosynthesis only?

Back

No, plants go through both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Responsible for aerobic respiration.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process of converting glucose and oxygen into ATP (energy), water, and carbon dioxide.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A process that requires oxygen to produce ATP from glucose.
