Cellular respiration and photosynthesis flashcard

Front

What is the function of stomata in plants?

Back

Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for the exchange of gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, between the plant and the environment.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Front

What are the reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What color change occurs in yellow BTB when photosynthesis takes place?

Back

The color changes from yellow to blue.

Front

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

Back

All living organisms, including plants, animals, and some microorganisms, perform cellular respiration.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the byproduct of photosynthesis?

Back

The byproducts of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy (ATP)

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the air through the stomata.
