Unit 2: 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 the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which serves as an energy source for plants.

Front

What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

Back

The raw materials needed for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

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

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose energy into ATP energy, which cells use for various functions.

Front

What is ATP?

Back

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

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Which organisms perform photosynthesis?

Back

Organisms that perform photosynthesis include plants, algae, and some bacteria.

Front

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

Back

Both plants and animals perform cellular respiration to obtain energy.
