Photosynthesis and Respiration

Front

What is the main goal of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert food energy into cellular energy, called ATP.

Front

Which process occurs in all types of cells: Photosynthesis, Respiration, or Both?

Back

Respiration.

Front

During which part of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide converted to glucose?

Back

Light-independent reactions.

Front

How much ATP is produced during anaerobic respiration?

Back

2 in glycolysis, 0 in fermentation.

Front

Which process is the only one that animal cells can perform: Photosynthesis, Respiration, or Both?

Back

Respiration.

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 are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to convert it into chemical energy.

Front

What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is aerobic respiration?

Back

A process that requires oxygen to convert glucose into ATP, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
