Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O → 6O2 + C6H12O6

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to make glucose.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

Where do plants get the energy needed for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis from sunlight.

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 role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the light-dependent reaction?

Back

The light-dependent reaction is the first stage of photosynthesis where sunlight is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

The Calvin cycle is the light-independent stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose using ATP and NADPH.
