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 main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.

Front

What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

Back

The raw materials needed for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What organelle is responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells?

Back

The organelle responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells is the chloroplast.

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.

The raw materials needed for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis through small openings in their leaves called stomata.

Front

Why is photosynthesis important for life on Earth?

Back

Photosynthesis is important for life on Earth because it produces oxygen and is the primary source of energy for nearly all living organisms.

Front

What role do chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.
