Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6)

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP provides energy for all cellular processes.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

In the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
