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 main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to produce energy (ATP) for cellular activities.

Front

What is the formula for glucose?

Back

C6H12O6

Front

What are the main reactants of cellular respiration?

Back

The main reactants of cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are the main products of cellular respiration?

Back

The main products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

Light + Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen

Front

How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related?

Back

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are interconnected processes; the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the reactants for cellular respiration.

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 role does oxygen play in cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is essential for aerobic cellular respiration as it acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
