FLASHCARD: Photosynthesis & Respiration 24-25

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is oxygen in relation to photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

A product of photosynthesis and a reactant of cellular respiration

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

The organelle inside a plant cell where photosynthesis happens

Front

How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related?

Back

The products of one reaction are the reactants of the other reaction

Front

Why is sunlight important for photosynthesis?

Back

Needed for photosynthesis to provide energy

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6)

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 (carbon dioxide) and 6H2O (water)

Front

What is the byproduct of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

In the chloroplasts
