Energy, photosynthesis and cell respiration

Front

What is a producer?

Back

An organism that makes its own food through photosynthesis, such as plants and algae.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

CO₂ + light + H₂O → O₂ + glucose

Front

Where does water enter a plant?

Back

Water enters the plant through the roots.

Front

What are thylakoids?

Back

Thylakoids are light-absorbing structures in chloroplasts where photosynthesis occurs.

Front

Is green algae a producer, consumer, or decomposer?

Back

Green algae is a producer.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Front

What role do pigments play in photosynthesis?

Back

Pigments absorb light energy, which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

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

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.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose.
