Photosynthesis and cellular respiration review

Front

What captures the sunlight used in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What happens during photosynthesis?

Back

During photosynthesis, the cell uses the energy in sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

Which organisms perform cellular respiration?

Back

Both producers and consumers perform cellular respiration to convert glucose into energy.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to take energy from glucose.

Front

What are the waste products of cellular respiration?

Back

The waste products of cellular respiration are water and carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

The main purpose of photosynthesis is to produce food (glucose) for plants using sunlight.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis?

Back

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place.

Front

How do plants obtain carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
