Photosynthesis and Respiration

Front

What is the goal of Cellular Respiration?

Back

The goal of Cellular Respiration is to release energy (as the ATP molecule).

Front

What are Eukaryotes?

Back

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus, including both plant and animal cells.

Front

What is the primary energy carrier molecule used by cells?

Back

The primary energy carrier molecule used by cells is ATP.

Front

Where do plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants get the energy they need for photosynthesis from sunlight.

Front

What happens to light energy during photosynthesis?

Back

Light energy is converted into glucose during photosynthesis.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose), while cellular respiration converts glucose into usable energy (ATP).

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
