Final Study Guide Part 2: Photosynthesis/Cellular Resipiration

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6 CO2 + 6 H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Front

What are the reactants needed for photosynthesis?

Back

Light, water, and carbon dioxide

Front

In what organelle does cellular respiration take place?

Back

Mitochondria

Front

Where do the reactions of photosynthesis take place in autotrophs?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

What is one of the reactants going into cellular respiration?

Back

Sugar (Glucose)

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, providing the energy needed for photosynthesis.

Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and release waste products.
