What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the main similarity between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Back

Both processes involve the transformation of energy from one form to another.

Front

What do plants produce during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants produce glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Front

What do cells produce during cellular respiration?

Back

Cells produce ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, used to store and transfer energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP).

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Back

Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the air through small openings in their leaves called stomata.
