Photosynthesis, Cellular Respiration and Endosymbiotic Theo Flashcard

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen are the products made during photosynthesis.

Front

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ?

Back

Both processes involve the conversion of energy, but photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy, while cellular respiration converts chemical energy into usable energy.

Front

What is the relationship between light intensity and photosynthesis?

Back

Light intensity is directly proportional to photosynthesis.

Front

What are the materials produced after cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP are produced after the process of cellular respiration.

Front

What do heterotrophs need from photosynthesis?

Back

Heterotrophs need oxygen and glucose produced by photosynthesis; they are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.

Front

Define photosynthesis.

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

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 role do chloroplasts play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll that captures light energy.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
