Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration Review H

Front

Why are plants green?

Back

Plants are green because they reflect green wavelengths of light.

Front

What is the primary purpose of photosynthesis in plants?

Back

The primary purpose of photosynthesis in plants is to make glucose.

Front

How would you describe cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process where carbon-based molecules from food and oxygen are used to make ATP.

Front

Where does cellular respiration take place in the cell?

Back

Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria.

Front

What are the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

The inputs of photosynthesis are energy, CO2, and water; the outputs are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red wavelengths, to facilitate photosynthesis.

Front

What is ATP and why is it important?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What are the byproducts of cellular respiration?

Back

The byproducts of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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