Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

What is the main energy molecule produced in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP.

Front

What are the products in the photosynthesis equation?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the balanced equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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

Front

Define cellular respiration.

Back

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

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
