Back

Photosynthesis

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight to help convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

In the mitochondria.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
