Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Review

Front

What are the two stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light dependent and light independent.

Front

What stage of cellular respiration produces the most ATP?

Back

Electron transport.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What goes into stage 2: light independent of photosynthesis?

Back

Carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

Where does the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis occur?

Back

In the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Front

What are the products of the light-dependent reactions?

Back

ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

To absorb light energy.

Front

What is glycolysis?

Back

The first step of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate.
