Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration and Endosymbiotic Theo Flashcard

Front

What is the difference between ADP and ATP?

Back

ADP has two phosphate groups and stores less energy than ATP, which has three phosphate groups.

Front

What are autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophs consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What organelle is responsible for Photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplast.

Front

What organelle is responsible for Cellular Respiration?

Back

Mitochondria.

Front

What simple sugar is used to create ATP in Cellular Respiration?

Back

Glucose.

Front

What do humans breathe in and what do plants take in?

Back

Humans breathe in Oxygen, while plants take in Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, providing the energy needed for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
