Photosynthesis vs. 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 cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells?

Back

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in cells?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into ATP, which is usable energy for the cell.

Front

What are the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
