Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other autotrophs use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is the main organelle involved in cellular respiration?

Back

The mitochondria are the main organelles where ATP is produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What are the inputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The inputs of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and light energy.

Front

What is the primary output of photosynthesis?

Back

The primary outputs of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Front

What is anaerobic respiration?

Back

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that occurs without oxygen, producing energy (ATP) and byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol.

Front

How many ATPs are produced during anaerobic respiration?

Back

2 ATPs are produced during anaerobic respiration.

Front

What are the outputs of the light reactions in photosynthesis?

Back

The outputs of the light reactions are oxygen (O2), NADPH, and ATP.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in plants?

Back

Chloroplasts are organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the function of xylem in plants?

Back

Xylem is the vascular tissue that carries water upward from the roots to every part of a plant.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
