Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

What is the green pigment found in chloroplasts?

Back

The green pigment found in chloroplasts is chlorophyll.

Front

When does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs all the time, both day and night.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite processes; photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of sunlight in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for photosynthesis to occur.

Front

What is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.
