Oxygen

Front

What is the main sugar produced during photosynthesis?

Back

Glucose

Front

What is the term for the energy currency of the cell that is produced during respiration?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration in plants?

Back

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