Unit 4: Cellular Energy Review

Front

What is the process that converts light energy into chemical energy in plants?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process that converts light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.

Front

What is lactic acid fermentation?

Back

Lactic acid fermentation is a process that occurs in muscle cells when oxygen is scarce, converting glucose into lactic acid and energy.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Which organelle is responsible for photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
