Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide

Front

What happens to the solution in a test tube with a plant in light during photosynthesis?

Back

The solution becomes more blue because the algae is doing more photosynthesis and using carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the relationship between light distance and the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The less distance between the light and the algae, the greater the rate of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

ATP and NADPH, along with oxygen as a byproduct.

Front

What is the primary purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and Electron Transport Chain.
