Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration

Front

What are the inputs for photosynthesis?

Back

carbon dioxide, water and energy

Front

What happens to a plant's production of high-energy sugars if light is removed from its environment?

Back

no more sugars will be produced

Front

What is the function of the mitochondria?

Back

converts sugars into ATP

Front

What process is represented by the arrow moving away from carbon dioxide into the tree?

Back

photosynthesis

Front

What are the outputs for photosynthesis?

Back

glucose and oxygen

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert sugars into energy (ATP) in the presence of oxygen.

Front

What role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

Explain 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.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

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