Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are autotrophs?

Back

Organisms that produce their own food using sunlight or chemical energy.
