Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The purpose of cellular respiration is to break glucose to release energy.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

Which process produces the most ATP molecules?

Back

The electron transport chain produces 32 ATP molecules.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle?

Back

The Krebs Cycle is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.
