Cell Energy Review

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 products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).

Front

What is the primary reactant in cellular respiration?

Back

The primary reactant in cellular respiration is glucose.

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 products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the two stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two stages of photosynthesis are the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

Where do the light-dependent reactions occur?

Back

The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water is split during the light-dependent reactions to release oxygen and provide electrons for the electron transport chain.

Front

What molecules are produced in the light-dependent reactions?

Back

The light-dependent reactions produce ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis that uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
