Photosynthesis and Respiration Review - CP

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the two main stages of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main stages of photosynthesis are the Light Dependent Reactions and the Calvin Cycle.

Front

Where do the Light Dependent Reactions occur?

Back

The Light Dependent Reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.

Front

What is the primary purpose of the Light Dependent Reactions?

Back

The primary purpose of the Light Dependent Reactions is to convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

Front

What is the Calvin Cycle?

Back

The Calvin Cycle is the set of chemical reactions that take place in the chloroplasts during photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP and NADPH.

Front

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 are the three main stages of cellular respiration?

Back

The three main stages of cellular respiration are Glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

Front

Where does glycolysis occur?

Back

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Front

What is produced during glycolysis?

Back

Glycolysis produces 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Front

What is the Krebs Cycle also known as?

Back

The Krebs Cycle is also known as the Citric Acid Cycle.
