Unit 2 Review: Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Concepts

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process of breaking down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy.

Front

Where does photosynthesis occur in a plant cell?

Back

In the chloroplast.

Front

What type of reaction is cellular respiration?

Back

Catabolic and Exothermic.

Front

What is the correct chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then release waste products.

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular processes?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen.

Front

What are the products of cellular respiration?

Back

Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily from the sun, to drive the photosynthesis process.
