Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

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 is the main product of cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the main product of cellular respiration.

Front

What are the two main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water, using chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 (Carbon dioxide + Water + Light energy -> Glucose + Oxygen).

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the process of glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
