Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

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 are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy).

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected processes; the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration, and vice versa.

Front

What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Back

The rate of photosynthesis can be affected by factors such as light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability.
