Photosynthesis/Respiration

Front

What gas do plants release during photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2)

Front

What is one of the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

Glucose (C6H12O6)

Front

What process occurs in the mitochondria?

Back

Cellular respiration

Front

What are the products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O2) and ATP

Front

What does aerobic respiration require that anaerobic respiration does not?

Back

Oxygen (O2)

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.
