FLASHCARD: Photosynthesis & Respiration 24-25

Front

What are chloroplasts?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelle inside a plant cell where photosynthesis happens.

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The purpose of cellular respiration is to turn glucose into energy.

Front

What role does carbon dioxide play in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide is a reactant of photosynthesis and a product of cellular respiration.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

Why is sunlight important for photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight is needed for photosynthesis to provide energy.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used in cellular respiration to help convert glucose into energy.
