Photosynthesis/Respiration

Front

What is the main difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen.

Front

What are the products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and ATP.

Front

What is the tendency of things in the universe regarding energy states?

Back

Things tend to move passively toward disorder.

Front

Where does the conversion of energy into ATP occur in the mitochondria?

Back

In the cristae.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

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 equation for aerobic respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).
