Chlorophyll

Front

Where do the reactions of Aerobic respiration take place? (Krebs Cycle & Electron Transport Chain)

Back

Mitochondria

Front

What is one of the reactants (raw materials) going into cellular respiration?

Back

Sugar (Glucose)

Front

Photosynthesis is ...

Back

The process of plants converting/transferring solar energy to chemical energy to make their food.

Front

What are the reactants (what's needed) for photosynthesis?

Back

light, water, and carbon dioxide

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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