Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration

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 are the main reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary product of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: CO2 + light + H2O → O2 + glucose.

Front

What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis can be affected by the amount of water, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and light intensity.

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 gas is released during cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the air during cellular respiration.
