Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is the balanced equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Front

What is the overall purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (energy) and oxygen.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.
