Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What produces the most ATP?

Back

Aerobic respiration produces the most ATP.

Front

After photosynthesis, plants store their energy as what?

Back

Plants store their energy as glucose (sugar).

Front

What is the main purpose of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of the light reactions is to provide the energy and electrons for the Calvin cycle.

Front

Which organelle performs photosynthesis?

Back

The chloroplast performs photosynthesis.

Front

What is the main purpose of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

The main purpose of the light-dependent reactions is to provide the energy for the Calvin cycle.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

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 is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis.

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.

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions?

Back

During the light-dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH are produced.
