Photosynthesis and Respiration

Front

What organelle is responsible for making food (Glucose) using sunlight?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

True or false: ATP is produced during photosynthesis.

Back

False

Front

In which organism(s) does respiration occur?

Back

All of these (plants, animals, fungus)

Front

Why is chlorophyll green?

Back

It reflects green wavelengths of light.

Front

What is the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is respiration?

Back

The process of breaking down glucose to release energy, occurring in all living organisms.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂).

Front

What is the main purpose of respiration in living organisms?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then release waste products.
