Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the goal of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The goal of Cellular Respiration is to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What is the main source of energy for all life?

Back

The main source of energy for all life comes from the sun.

Front

Can plants use both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Yes, plants can use both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants release oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

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.

Front

What do plants need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, allowing photosynthesis to occur.

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
