Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What are the reactants in the cellular respiration equation?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the overall purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (energy) and oxygen.

Front

What are the products in the cellular respiration equation?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.
