Photosynthesis and Cellular 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 is the primary source of energy for photosynthesis?

Back

The primary source of energy for photosynthesis is sunlight.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

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 is the formula for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell.

Front

What role do roots play in photosynthesis?

Back

Roots absorb water from the soil, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.

Front

What gas do animals exhale that is a product of cellular respiration?

Back

Animals exhale carbon dioxide as a product of cellular respiration.
