Front

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Back

Oxygen and sugar (glucose)

Front

What are the reactants in photosynthesis?

Back

Sunlight, Water, and Carbon Dioxide

Front

How do the chemical equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?

Back

They are opposites.

Front

What processes do plants use for energy?

Back

Plants use photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Front

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

Back

6 H₂O + 6 CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants 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 role does chlorophyll play in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is essential for the photosynthesis process.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert the chemical energy in glucose into usable energy (ATP) for the cell.
