Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

Back

The formula for photosynthesis is: Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light Energy -> Glucose + Oxygen.

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 formula for cellular respiration?

Back

The formula for cellular respiration is: Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which plants use for energy.

Front

What is the main byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

The main byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere.
