Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Alternate

Front

What is the primary function of mitochondria in cells?

Back

The primary function of mitochondria is to produce energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration.

Front

What is the primary function of chloroplasts in plant cells?

Back

The primary function of chloroplasts is to conduct photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

Define 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

Define 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 reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), along with light energy.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and adenosine triphosphate (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 eukaryotic cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
