Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

How many ATP are produced in aerobic respiration?

Back

36 ATP are produced in aerobic respiration.

Front

What organelle is responsible for aerobic respiration?

Back

The mitochondria.

Front

What is the pigment in chloroplasts that performs photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

Which process produces the most ATP?

Back

Aerobic respiration.

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step in cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
