Front

What is a molecule that absorbs energy from light?

Back

Pigment

Front

Where can you find chlorophyll in the cell?

Back

Thylakoid membrane

Front

Which molecules pass high energy electrons into the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?

Back

NADH & FADH2

Front

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb light energy for the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP serves as the main energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is the function of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration?

Back

To transfer electrons and pump protons to create a proton gradient for ATP synthesis.

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2)

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH.
