Biology Unit 3: Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front

What is Photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary function of Photosynthesis?

Back

The primary function of Photosynthesis is to use energy from sunlight to produce glucose, which serves as food for the plant.

Front

What are the main products of Photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of Photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

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 relationship between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in Cellular Respiration to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. They are interconnected processes.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the highest power energy-carrying molecule in cells, used to power various cellular activities.

Front

What gas is a byproduct of Photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen is released as a byproduct of Photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in Photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the process of Photosynthesis.

Front

What are the reactants of Photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of Photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What type of energy is transformed during Photosynthesis?

Back

Light energy is transformed into chemical energy during Photosynthesis.
