Photosynthesis and Cellular 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 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 are the main reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The main reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What organelle is responsible for cellular respiration?

Back

The mitochondria are the organelles responsible for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The purpose of photosynthesis is to produce glucose, which serves as food for the plant.

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into ATP, which provides energy for cellular activities.

Front

Do plants perform cellular respiration?

Back

Yes, plants perform cellular respiration to convert the glucose they produce during photosynthesis into usable energy.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to power various cellular processes.
