Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process in which plants make their food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Why are many plants green?

Back

Chlorophyll reflects green light, which is why many plants appear green.

Front

What is created as a result of cellular respiration?

Back

Water (H2O) + Carbon dioxide (CO2) + ATP Energy.

Front

Where do plants get the energy they need to perform photosynthesis?

Back

The sun.

Front

During cellular respiration, what do animal cells use to produce energy from food?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

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, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
