Unit 5 Test Review - Energy (Photosynthesis & Respiration)

Front

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What are the main reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are the main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain.

Front

What is the role of NADH and FADH2 in cellular respiration?

Back

They are electron carriers that transport electrons to the electron transport chain.

Front

What is the Calvin cycle?

Back

A series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that convert carbon dioxide into glucose using ATP and NADPH.

Front

How do autotrophs differ from heterotrophs?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of oxygen in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
