Front

What is the correct equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + Sugar

Front

Why are many plants green?

Back

Chlorophyll reflects green light.

Front

What is the balanced equation that represents cellular respiration?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Front

What is 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 blue and red wavelengths, and reflects green light.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and glucose.

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 main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
