Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

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.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that carries energy within cells, produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

The products of cellular respiration are ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight provides the energy needed for the photosynthesis process to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Front

Why is oxygen produced during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis when water molecules are split to release electrons.

Front

What would happen to life on Earth without photosynthesis?

Back

Without photosynthesis, life on Earth would end because it is the primary source of energy for most living organisms.
