Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells break down food molecules to release energy, typically in the form of ATP.

Front

What are the main products of glycolysis?

Back

ATP and pyruvate are the main products of glycolysis.

Front

Which gas is NOT produced during glycolysis?

Back

CO₂ is NOT a product of glycolysis.

Front

What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP temporarily stores energy released during the breakdown of food molecules.

Front

What is the Krebs cycle?

Back

A series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA.

Front

What is the electron transport chain (ETC)?

Back

A series of protein complexes and other molecules that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions.

Front

How does temperature affect photosynthesis?

Back

Temperature affects the rate of photosynthesis, but glucose does NOT affect it.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
