Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

What process produces most of the oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process that produces most of the oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Front

What do cells produce most efficiently in the presence of oxygen?

Back

Cells produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) most efficiently in the presence of oxygen.

Front

What does fermentation enable glycolysis to continue under?

Back

Fermentation enables glycolysis to continue under anaerobic conditions.

Front

Why do muscles feel sore after intense activity?

Back

Muscles feel sore after intense activity due to the accumulation of lactic acid.

Front

What is the chemical formula for water?

Back

The chemical formula for water is H₂O.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

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 role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of photosynthesis.

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 main product of cellular respiration?

Back

The main product of cellular respiration is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used as energy by cells.
