Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To release energy from food.

Front

What organisms carry out the process of decomposition?

Back

Decomposers break down dead or decaying organisms.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and sugar (glucose).

Front

What is the correct equation for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What materials are needed for photosynthesis?

Back

Light, water, and carbon dioxide.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

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.

Front

What is the main energy currency of cells?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Back

Through small openings in their leaves called stomata.

Front

What is 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.
