Unit 2 Review: Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Concepts

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Front

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles.

Front

How can photosynthesis be described in terms of energy and matter?

Back

Photosynthesis is the transfer of matter and flow of energy between the plant and its environment.

Front

What are the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

Inputs: Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide; Outputs: Glucose and oxygen.

Front

In which organelle does most of cellular respiration occur?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs, converting light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions).

Front

What is the function of the mitochondria?

Back

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, where cellular respiration takes place.
