Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration Flashcardizz

Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

Convert solar energy into chemical energy to store in glucose.

Front

Which is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6 Carbon Dioxide + 6 Water + Light → 1 Glucose + 6 Oxygen.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and Oxygen.

Front

Is photosynthesis Anabolic or Catabolic?

Back

Anabolic because photosynthesis BUILDS sugar.

Front

What would happen if the 'Sun went dark'?

Back

Photosynthesis would stop, plants wouldn’t be able to grow because they wouldn’t have any glucose, heterotrophs wouldn’t have any food, less oxygen in the atmosphere; all of the other options are correct!

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

In the chloroplasts.

Front

What is the overall chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

1 Glucose + 6 Oxygen → 6 Carbon Dioxide + 6 Water + ATP.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce ATP.
