Photosynthesis/Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What are the main products of photosynthesis?

Back

The main products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

How are photosynthesis and respiration related?

Back

The products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration.

Front

What do animals exhale during cellular respiration?

Back

Animals exhale carbon dioxide during cellular respiration.

Front

What do plants use to produce glucose during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose during photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Front

Which gas is NOT required for photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen (O₂) is NOT a necessary input for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

How do plants obtain energy?

Back

Plants obtain energy by breaking down the glucose they produced during photosynthesis.

Front

How do animals obtain energy?

Back

Animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms.
