Front

What are mitochondria?

Back

The organelle in cells where cellular respiration happens.

Front

What is oxygen in relation to photosynthesis and respiration?

Back

A product of photosynthesis and a reactant of cellular respiration.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

Why is sunlight important for photosynthesis?

Back

Needed for photosynthesis to provide energy.

Front

What are reactants?

Back

Raw materials that are found before the yields arrow.

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 role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back
