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 cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to release ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used for energy.

Front

What is the correct equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O → 6O2 + C6H12O6.

Front

Where do plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis from sunlight.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration cycle matter?

Back

The outputs of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the inputs for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis, which captures sunlight.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6).

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration to power cellular activities.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during cellular respiration.
