Unit 5: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration checkpoint 2024

Front

What is the job of chloroplasts?

Back

To absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the 3 reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide, sunlight, water.

Front

Why do plants need energy?

Back

To perform essential life functions.

Front

What happens during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants are creating their own food.

Front

What is transpiration?

Back

Excess water being released from the aerial parts of plants in the form of water vapor.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is chlorophyll?

Back

A green pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
