#15 Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration Final Review

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.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and ATP (energy).

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy for various cellular processes.

Front

Which organisms perform photosynthesis?

Back

Plants, algae, and some bacteria perform photosynthesis.

Front

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

Back

Both animals and plants perform cellular respiration.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

Why do plants need sunlight for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants need sunlight as it provides the energy required to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
