Unit 2 Review: Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Concepts

Front

In which organelle does photosynthesis occur?

Back

Chloroplast

Front

Which chemical equation is correct for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Front

In which organelle does most of cellular respiration occur?

Back

Mitochondrion

Front

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles.

Front

What are the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis?

Back

Inputs: Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide; Outputs: Glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that absorbs sunlight, allowing plants to convert light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy.

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 fermentation?

Back

Lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide, depending on the type of fermentation.
