Back

Mitochondria

Front

What gas does cellular respiration produce (let off as waste)?

Back

CO2

Front

Photosynthesis converts the sun's light energy into?

Back

Chemical energy in the form of C6H12O6

Front

What happens if there is a lack of oxygen during cellular respiration?

Back

Less ATP is produced

Front

Process of getting energy from food (energy stored in glucose is converted to ATP)

Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and Calvin cycle

Front

What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell.

Front

What role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles where photosynthesis occurs.
